Manama, Bahrain, April 9, 2017

Gulf Business Machines (GBM), the region’s number one provider of IT solutions, participated in the 1^st AFS Middle East and Africa FinTech Forum last week as a Platinum sponsor. GBM was the sole Bahraini ICT company to sponsor the event.

Abdulla Ishaq, GBM Bahrain’s General Manager, commented: “Forums such as these showcase Bahrain’s prominent regional role in the digital transformation of our economies. Being the first regional FinTech forum to be held in the Kingdom, we feel it was the perfect platform to bring together major players in the FinTech ecosystem and inspire dialogue and knowledge exchange. As the IBM partner in Bahrain, GBM is keen to partner with the local banks to enable them in providing the best digital experience for their customers.”
