Tradex Exhibitions
Calendar of Trade Show Events

GulfBID is the only annual construction trade show held in Bahrain and is a prime show at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre.

GulfBID fills an important gap in both Bahrain's and the Construction Sectors event calendar, providing an excellent forum for the building, construction and interior designer industries and trading companies to source new building materials, furniture and furnishing services that are available around the world. The event is also be an excellent annual forum for information exchange, networking and to obtain regular information on new trends and developments in the global building and construction and interiors industry.

The Kingdom of Bahrain has a favorable geographic location with easy access to the booming markets in the Northern Gulf. The GCC countries and the entire Middle East region are currently experiencing a massive construction boom and therefore the timing is perfect for the launching of gulfBID, which will attract especially all experts and buyers from the Northern Gulf, in particular from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and other fast growing economies in the region.

The ease of access to Bahrain from Damman (the second largest city in Saudi Arabia) provides an excellent low-risk platform for companies to target the Saudi market - by far the largest in the Middle East.

Conservative estimates put the value of projects currently under way in the Gulf region at in excess of $US700 billion and growing at a rate of $US4 billion per week.

The Kingdom of Bahrain has a long-standing reputation as a regional business hub and gateway to the Middle East market and it offers excellent business infrastructure with world-class communication facilities, conventional and Islamic banking and financial services, comprehensive technical expertise and consultants in all fields related to the building and construction industry.
