The Kingdom of Bahrain is set to welcome an exceptional lineup of global leaders, investors, and innovators for the third edition of Gateway Gulf, taking place on 2–3 November 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel, Bahrain Bay. Hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), the invitation-only forum will once again serve as the Gulf’s premier platform for rethinking global investment and forging strategic partnerships across key sectors.
Gateway Gulf 2025 will convene over 200 senior decision-makers from across the GCC, Asia, Europe, and North America, providing an unparalleled opportunity to directly engage with the visionaries shaping the region’s transformation agenda.
This year’s distinguished speaker lineup includes leading policymakers, investors, and CEOs from across the public and private sectors. These leaders, alongside other prominent figures from global finance, manufacturing, tourism, technology, and logistics, will explore the trends shaping investment flows and trade realignment across the GCC and beyond.
Under the theme “Rethinking Global Investment for New Trade Dynamics,” the 2025 programme will focus on seven key pillars driving the next chapter of economic diversification, including Healthy Investment Frontiers, Shifting Trade Dynamics, The Rise of New Financial Avenues, and Enabling Digital Transformation.
These discussions will be complemented by targeted private roundtables, one-on-one meetings designed to unlock opportunities and facilitate meaningful partnerships, as well as a showcase of investable projects.
Gateway Gulf exemplifies Bahrain’s Team Bahrain philosophy—where collaboration between the public and private sectors drives innovation, regulatory reform, and sustainable growth. With 86% non-oil contribution to GDP, Bahrain continues to strengthen its position as the Gulf’s most diversified economy and an attractive hub for global business.
