Attracting new business

A major push is on to attract information technology companies. World class computer and software companies such as Silicon Graphics and Digital Equipment have chosen Bahrain as their regional base for sales and support operations. In attracting such business and investment to Bahrain, the government can point to ten purpose-built industrial areas accommodating over 500 different manufacturing and service companies.

With a safe and cosmopolitan lifestyle and mature industrial infrastructure, with industrial incentives unique to the region, with its reputation as a banking centre, with a legal system geared to protection of capital and with its strategic location, Bahrain offers itself as a premier Middle East investment location.
