Abdulla bin Adel Fakhro, Bahrain’s minister of industry and commerce, is on a mission to transform the country’s industrial sector under a broader government plan to revamp the economy and hasten the transition to a non-oil future.
Guided by an industrial sector strategy for the 2022–2026 period, the ministry is targeting a “sustainable” and “innovative” industrial base by accelerating digitalisation and the shift to “Industry 4.0”: adopting a circular carbon economy; investing in infrastructure and supply chain efficiency; and promoting environmental, social and governance principles across the country.
