Industrial investment meetings

In association with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation – Investment & Technology Promotion Office (UNIDO ITPO), SIAL Middle East will host a programme of one to one investment meetings for the food sector in the Middle East - the first of its kind in the region.

The industrial development of the food sector is today a national priority in the region:

• It lessens the dependence on oil and its related products
• It reduces food imports
• It contributes to food security
• It creates new jobs

In the period 1998-2008 the number of food factories in the GCC countries increased by more than 50%.

Financial incentives for companies setting up factories include:

• Grants to simplified long term loans at no interest
• Tax exemption
• Free land
• Cheap or free energy supply
• Help in exports and priority given to nationally manufactured products in all public tenders

If your company is looking to explore the best ways of establishing an industrial activity in the GCC, then these meetings are for you. This is your opportunity to meet potential investors and partners and to profit from the huge financial resources allocated by GCC governments to develop and diversify the industrial sector.

The Industrial Investors Club will bring to SIAL ME top industrialists and investors from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, looking for new manufacturing projects in the food industry.
