Water Middle East and Intelligent Building at BIEC

Water Middle East started in 2003, and organized by Bahrain Convention & Exhibition Bureau & Nuernberg Global Fairs - German government owned company - this annual specialized event is dedicated to the specific needs and technical requirements of arid regions where efficient and sustainable water management has become a key issue. The economies in the Middle East are booming, population is rising quickly and due to the limited rain fall and natural water resources, efficient water management is most important for economic growth. Water Middle East Exhibition & Conference is taking up these challenges and in the last two events in 2003 and 2004 companies from the Middle East as well as from Europe and other continents were showcasing solutions, technologies and concepts. The conference program is organized by a high-rank international conference committee and organized by EITEP, the Euro-Institute for Information and Technology Transfer in Environmental Protection and Water Science and Technology Association.

This year Water Middle East Exhibition & Conference will be held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Prim Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain, between 14 - 16 November 2005 at Bahrain International Exhibition Center.

Dr. Klaus Ritter - President of EITEP, Euro-Institute for Information and Technology Transfer in Environmental Protection GmbH, Germany and Chairman of Water Middle East Conference Committee said "In the Middle East region we, together with our international partners are using the annual Water Middle East conference and exhibition in Bahrain as a central platform for the international exchange of experiences with the Arab World."

Intelligent Building Middle East will have its premiere December 5-7, 2005 at Bahrain Convention & Exhibition Center, under the patronage of H.E. Fahmi bin Ali Al Jodar, Minster of Works and housing.
