It is an honour to be hosting the inaugural Made in GCC 2026 Forum and Exhibition in the Kingdom of Bahrain, an event reflecting the deep commitment of member states to the framework of joint GCC cooperation and the Kingdom of Bahrain’s role in supporting initiatives that strengthen industrial and economic integration across the GCC.

The Forum and Exhibition will serve as a strategic platform for exchanging expertise, strengthening industrial and investment partnerships, accelerating the adoption of innovation and advanced technologies, and showcasing the region's industrial capabilities. It will further establish 'Made in GCC' as a unified industrial brand that reflects the quality and competitiveness of Gulf products while enhancing their presence across regional and international markets. We look forward to this landmark event, which will help accelerate efforts to build a more integrated, resilient and sustainable GCC industrial sector.
