Gateway Gulf 2025: A Platform for Global Investment in Bahrain

The Kingdom of Bahrain is gearing up to host the third edition of Gateway Gulf, a premier forum for international investors and business leaders. Scheduled for November 2-3, 2025, at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Bahrain Bay, this exclusive event will welcome 200 top-tier executives and delegates from various regions, including America, Europe, Asia, and the Gulf.

Under the theme "Rethinking Global Investment for New Trade Dynamics," Gateway Gulf aims to foster dialogue that leads to long-lasting partnerships and new investment opportunities in the Gulf region. The forum, organized by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) with the support of high-ranking government officials, seeks to highlight the dynamic economic changes in the region, where the gross domestic product (GDP) exceeds $2 trillion and is projected to reach $6 trillion by 2050.

In recent years, Bahrain has seen significant growth, particularly in its non-oil sector, which constitutes over 86% of its GDP. This diversification presents a wealth of opportunities for global investors looking for scalable and sustainable growth. Following the success of Gateway Gulf 2024, which announced over $12 billion in investments and strategic agreements, this upcoming edition will build upon that momentum with a more comprehensive agenda.

Attendees can look forward to a series of curated discussions, one-on-one meetings with investors, and presentations of viable projects from the region. The event will also feature a cultural program designed to showcase Bahrain's unique business and social landscape, thus enhancing the overall experience for participants.

Key topics that will be explored during the forum include regional and local trends in digital transformation, energy transition, sustainability, and emerging opportunities in pivotal sectors such as financial services, information and communications technology (ICT), manufacturing, logistics, and tourism. The event is designed to facilitate interactions between ministers and industry leaders, forging pathways for mutual synergies in these critical areas.

Gateway Gulf is not just an event but also a strategic platform that reaffirms Bahrain's role as a trusted global partner, providing stakeholders with access to one of the world's fastest-growing regions. Supported by advanced infrastructure, a future-ready workforce, and a favorable business environment, Bahrain aims to solidify its status as a key hub for regional and global connections.

This forum promises to be a rich opportunity for dialogue, actionable collaborations, and the establishment of long-term partnerships. By facilitating discussions on the future of investments essential for economic growth, Gateway Gulf seeks to enhance Bahrain's stature as a critical nexus within the global investment landscape. As the event draws near, the anticipation continues to build around the vital conversations that will shape the future of trade and investment in the region and beyond.

Join us at Gateway Gulf 2025, where the future of global investment is envisioned and forged through strategic partnerships and innovative dialogues.
