With every edition, we have witnessed a significant incline in sales for the participating exhibitors, and this year we have expanded to include even more brands and businesses. We are proud to welcome all of them to take part in this major event.”

Exhibitions such as BIMS benefit a range of businesses including hotels, restaurants which experience a boost as a result of the influx of visitors at the time of the event.

The exhibition has received support from corporations such as the ‘Powered By’ sponsor, Zayani Investments, the ‘Official Venue’, the Bahrain International Circuit, and the new ‘Strategic Partner’ Batelco.
