Sakana sponsors Bahrain's GREF conference

The conference is the only international conference dedicated to meeting the specialized real estate needs of the GCC's fast-growing economy.

According to Mr. R. Lakshmanan, CEO of Sakana, the decision to sponsor Gulf Real Estate Fundamentals Conference 2008, represents an ideal opportunity to showcase Sakana's full range of real estate solutions and associated multi-level services for individuals and companies: these include property financing, development, management, consulting and brokerage.

Commenting further on Sakana's motivation for pledging to be the conference's silver sponsor, Mr. R. Lakshmanan said: "Since our relatively recent start only 23 months ago, Sakana has been extremely successful both in terms of our business, and also as a leader in the real estate finance market. We have launched a wide range of holistic, simple and, above all, innovative, products and services, many of these being introduced for the first time in Bahrain, and even in the GCC.

"Our commitment to pushing the boundaries of the region's real estate finance sector also includes our decision to participate in key industry events. This allows us to add value by sharing our unique experience and by networking with other key players in order to keep a finger on the pulse of this dynamic market, particularly important due to the fallout the region is experiencing as a result of the sub-prime and now the global financial crisis."

M. A. Sridhar, CEO of Roshcomm, the event's organisers. said: "We have been successfully ramping-up our sponsorship programme as evidenced by key brands showing their commitment to the only regional real estate event of its nature. Sakana is one of the leading real estate finance providers operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain. We are very pleased to bring Sakana on board as a valued silver sponsor, yet another proof that the conference is fast emerging as the leading event for the real estate, banking and finance communities."

Being held under the patronage of H.E. Shaikh Abdul Rahman Al Khalifa the Honorable Director General of Survey and Land Registration Bureau, Kingdom of Bahrain, this international event is poised to attract the largest gathering of real estate gurus and thought leaders ever to come together in the region, from the GCC, Asia and the UK. It will be held at the Diplomat Radisson SAS Hotel, Residence and Spa, Bahrain.
