Hidd:The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has initiated a bidding process for a multi-storey factory project at Salman Industrial City, coinciding with the Made in GCC 2026 Forum and Exhibition.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the project is designed to optimize the use of industrial land by offering adaptable industrial spaces to assist entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized industrial enterprises. Located within the Bahrain International Investment Park in Salman Industrial City, the site spans 6,700 square meters, with a building footprint of 2,680 square meters and a total floor area of about 10,720 square meters.
The bidding will focus on the rental value proposed for the project land. The successful bidder will sign a lease with the Ministry and will be tasked with developing the land, constructing and operating the factory complex, and leasing out industrial units to entrepreneurs and SMEs, in line with applicable regulations.
