Bahrain has been chosen as the destination for the 18th Arab Businessmen and Investors Conference (ABIC) and the third edition of the World Entrepreneurs Investment Forum 2019 (WEIF 2019). The theme this year is: “Fourth Industrial Revolution: Shaping the Future — Digital Disruptions for a Better Tomorrow.” The events will be held concurrently in Bahrain from Nov. 11 to 13th.

Organized and supported by the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), Union of Arab Chambers, Arab League, The Arab Investment and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO-ITPO Bahrain), this edition of the conference will represent an Arab economic and investment gathering to lead investment in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and digital innovation in Arab countries in this field.

Mohamed Abduljabbar Mahmood Alkooheji, second vice chairman of BCCI, said: “Bahrain is a leading example of a business-friendly nation with no free zone restrictions, 100 percent foreign ownership for a majority of activities and low operating costs. As the first GCC nation to move away from its dependence on oil, Bahrain is today the region’s most diversified and sustainable economy and leading financial hub.”

He added: “The focus of the 18th Arab Businessmen and Investors Conference is on the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the Arab world and the BCCI is delighted to invite representatives from all over the region and the world to explore the possibilities, challenges and most efficient ways of adapting this revolution to obtain a dramatically improved future.”
