Exhibition World Bahrain (EWB) is fully set to welcome, for the first time, the 6th World Entrepreneurs Investment Forum (WEIF 2026).
The event will take place on 10-11 February 2026, under the patronage of His royal highness prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the crown prince and prime minister. Building on the strong legacy of previous editions held in 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2024, WEIF 2026 will be hosted across EWB’s state-of-the-art Grand Hall, Pre-Function Area, and multiple meeting rooms, spanning a total area of more than 3,200 square metres and offering an integrated environment for high-level dialogue, networking, and deal-making.
Facilitated by the General Secretariat at the Unido Investment and Technology Promotion Office in the Kingdom of Bahrain, WEIF 2026 is organised in partnership with the League of Arab States, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Bahrain, the Union of Arab Chambers, and the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce, alongside a wide network of local, regional, and international partners.
The forum is expected to attract around 800 participants from across the globe, including investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and business leaders. Discussions will centre on the theme “Achieving the SDGs through Empowering Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Mobilising Capital for Resilient Communities”, with a strong focus on sustainable development, artificial intelligence, and green growth.
Commenting
on the event, Ali Toorani, director of Event Operations at EWB, said:
“Welcoming the World Entrepreneurs Investment Forum for the first time at EWB
is a milestone that reflects our growing role as a regional and international
platform for impactful global dialogue. We fully commit to offering

tools, allowing them to focus on content and engagement while we handle the
execution of all logistical and operational aspects.”
