FINAL touches are being put to Gulf Industry Fair (GIF) 2014 before it gets under way this month (February 4 to 6) at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre (BIECC). His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, will open the fair, organised by Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).

WITH deals worth more than $3 billion done at an air show it hosted last month, Bahrain is hopeful it will be a more prominent player in the future in the international aviation fairs industry.

STRONG foreign participation was the highlight of the region’s premier steel fabrication industry exhibition – SteelFab 2014 – that was held last month (January 20 to 23) at Expo Centre Sharjah, UAE.

LEADING companies will support the 2014 editions of two exhibitions, one being SaudiPlast and Petrochem and the other being Saudi Print and Pack, as main sponsors.
