Bahrain Boat Show International 2011 will take place at Amwaj Marina on Nov. 23-26 in partnership with the Economic Development Board (EDB). Tamkeen – Bahrain's enterprise development authority has joined forces with the Bahrain Boatshow International 2011 (BBSI) to fund up to 80 percent of costs for 30 marine enterprises that will be exhibiting at the show by extending financial assistance worth BD80,000 and encouraging development in the leisure marine sector. The Tarweej scheme is one of the main schemes under Tamkeen's Enterprise Development Support Program that helps Bahraini enterprises promote their products and services at leading local, regional, and international trade fairs and exhibitors. Tamkeen's Senior Manager of Private Sector Supporting Division, Mohammed Bucheery, said the boost in the sector is a means of helping Bahrain channel substantial investment toward infrastructure and property development with the aim of developing the marine leisure sector for both visitors and businesses to explore, educate, and stimulate industry growth. “The boat show is a great opportunity for Bahrain-based marine businesses to promote their products and services amidst a huge eclectic audience and further reinforces our 2030 strategy to develop and strengthening our country's economy through every means possible.”
