Global Investors and Business Leaders to Gather at Gateway Gulf in Bahrain This November

Global Investors and Business Leaders Set to Convene in Bahrain for Gateway Gulf's Third Edition in November

The Kingdom of Bahrain is gearing up to welcome high-level international delegates from the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Gulf region for the third edition of Gateway Gulf, scheduled for November 2-3, 2025, at the Four Seasons Hotel, Bahrain Bay. This invitation-only forum will gather 200 prominent guests, including international investors, business leaders, policymakers, officials, and industry visionaries to explore high-value investment opportunities and partnerships across the Gulf.

Under the theme "Rethinking Global Investment for a New Business Momentum," the forum offers a platform to showcase Bahrain's strategic initiatives and encourage international collaboration. Hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) and supported by top officials from the Kingdom, the event will highlight the Gulf's economic transformation dynamics, with the region's GDP currently exceeding $2 trillion and projected to reach $6 trillion by 2050.

With over 86% of Bahrain's GDP now coming from non-oil sectors, the Kingdom presents a highly diversified environment primed for the future, offering unparalleled opportunities for sustainable, scalable growth for global investors. Following the successes of Gateway Gulf 2024, which resulted in over $12 billion in investments and strategic agreements, the 2025 edition seeks to build on this momentum with an even more comprehensive and impactful program.

Participants will enjoy panel discussions, one-on-one meetings with investors, and presentations of investable projects throughout the Gulf alongside a cultural program that showcases Bahrain's unique social and business landscape. Discussions during the forum will emphasize regional and local trends, including digital transformation, energy transition, sustainability, and new emerging opportunities in high-value sectors such as financial services, IT, manufacturing, logistics, and tourism. The event will gather ministers and senior executives to discuss opportunities in these areas and identify potential for mutual synergies.

Gateway Gulf strengthens Bahrain's position as a trusted global partner, offering stakeholders access to one of the world’s fastest-growing regions, underpinned by the country's advanced infrastructure, future-ready human capital, and business-friendly environment. The forum serves as a strategic platform for high-level dialogue, tangible collaboration, and long-term partnerships. It is designed to facilitate discussions on the future of investment for economic growth while consolidating Bahrain's role as a hub for regional and global connectivity.

This gathering is more than merely a business conference; it's a critical juncture for fostering sustainable economic ties and shared growth paths in a rapidly evolving global market. As leaders converge, the anticipation for groundbreaking discussions and strategic partnerships is palpable, positioning Bahrain at the forefront of investment and development in the Gulf region and beyond.
