MEET ICT ends on a High Note: Empower Local Content Share in the IT Sector!

Participants at the MEET ICT Conference emphasized the significance of increasing the share of local content in the information technology sector of the Kingdom of Bahrain. They proposed supporting Bahraini companies operating in the field of ICT to expand their market share, attract new customers, and explore untapped markets. By doing so, these efforts would contribute significantly to elevating the Kingdom of Bahrain’s GDP.

Under the patronage of H.E. Mr. Abdulla bin Adel Fakhro, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, the three-day conference concluded on Thursday with additional recommendations. Participants stressed the necessity of fostering technical innovation by promoting research and development across various companies in the Kingdom, particularly among SMEs. This focus on innovation would ensure their sustainable growth, reduce operating costs, and facilitate their ability to offer services and products in both local and regional markets.
