The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) Middle East Business Group (MEBG) is proud to present this seminar on Development and Opportunities in Logistics Sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain jointly with the Bahrain Economic Development Borad (BEDB)
Today, the Middle East markets provide one of the few growth opportunities in the current global economic environment and Bahrain, in the heart of the Arabian Gulf is a highly competitive gateway to these markets.
Bahrain’s unparalleled geographical connectivity and regional leadership within the logistics industry are the reasons why DHL’s Middle East North Africa chose to base its hub in the Kingdom - all shipments to the Gulf pass through Manama and are distributed across the region from there and APM Terminals, the world’s second largest terminal operator, manage operations at the newly developed port Khalifa Bin Salman Port.
The logistics industry in Bahrain is already thriving with the Kingdom boasting the impressive Bahrain Logistics Zone (BLZ) located adjacent to the port and 13 km from the airport which offers the shortest logistics transfer time to/from sea and air in the Gulf. CEVA Logistics – the world’s fourth largest third party logistics firm is currently based in the BLZ with the potential for expansion.
The objective of this event is to present to you the quality of the business environment for new investment in the logistics sector in Bahrain.
