Bahrain hosts fourth edition of 'Gateway Gulf' in November to explore global economic partnerships
In a pivotal moment for the global economy, Bahrain will host its fourth annual 'Gateway Gulf' forum from November 1–2, 2026. The invitation-only event brings together high-level government officials, business leaders, and influential figures from across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America to discuss how cross-border partnerships can drive sustainable growth and economic resilience. Organized by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), 'Gateway Gulf' will focus on evolving investment dynamics, capital flows, innovation, and global economic collaboration. With a regional GDP of over $2.38 trillion, the GCC has solidified its role as a hub for talent, capital, and innovation through sustainable investments in infrastructure and diversification. Bahrain's non-oil sectors contribute 86% to its GDP, positioning it as an attractive destination for businesses seeking opportunities in one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions. The event will feature networking sessions, private meetings, and investment presentations aimed at fostering meaningful partnerships.
