The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has urged Bahraini manufacturers to register on the Arab Industrial and Mining Products Requests and Offers Platform (APIP.online), an initiative launched by the Arab Industrial Development, Standardization and Mining Organization. The platform is designed to connect Arab manufacturers with business opportunities across the region, aiming to boost economic integration and increase trade volumes.

Dr. Khalid Fahad Al-Alawi, Assistant Undersecretary for Industrial Development at the Ministry, described the platform as a valuable opportunity for Bahraini manufacturers to showcase their products at the Arab level and gain insights into the needs of regional markets in the industrial and mining sectors.

He noted that this initiative aligns with the Industrial Sector Strategy (2022–2026), which focuses on supporting national exports and enabling Bahraini manufacturers to expand their reach and compete for regional purchasing contracts.

Dr. Al-Alawi affirmed the Ministry’s commitment to fostering regional cooperation and deeper integration among Arab industrial sectors. He also praised Bahrain’s manufacturing sector, highlighting its advanced capabilities and expertise that position it to compete both regionally and globally.
