BIAS Expands Thought Leadership Conference for 2024 Airshow

 


The Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS) is working with business leaders to improve its thought leadership conference program for the 2024 event, following the great success of its debut conference in 2022. The 2022 Bahrain International Aerospace Symposium (BIAS) focused on important issues in the aerospace, aviation, and space industries and how they relate to the Kingdom of Bahrain and the surrounding area. The event had an impressive speaker lineup, featuring well-known individuals like Heidi Grant, President of Business Development at Boeing, and Captain Waleed Al Alawi, CEO of Gulf Air.

BIAS is carefully selecting the program for the 2024 event in association with Kallman Worldwide, the Manama Air Power Symposium, and important partners such as NSSA. The program will cover four topics over two days: Diversity & Inclusion, Defense, Space, and Airlines & Airports. The study will delve into various subjects such as technological innovation, sustainability, infrastructure investment needs, international collaboration in sustainable space operations, Middle Eastern commercial space launches, advancements in gender equality in the industry, and developments in sustainable aviation fuels in the EMEA region.

The BIAS is still a popular venue for networking and business prospects in the area in addition to its extensive conference. More than half of the opulent exhibitor chalets have already been reserved, according to the BIAS Supreme Organizing Committee. Notable businesses such as Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce, Thales, and Gulf Air have already secured their spots. In light of the airshow's crucial position in the industry, Yousif Mohamed Mahmoud, Director General of the Bahrain International Airshow Group, stressed the significance of ongoing investments from international and regional aerospace leaders in the event. The recently revealed corporate identity highlights Bahrain's status as a center for aerospace innovation and worldwide trade, which the 2024 event is expected to uphold. Global leaders will be welcomed to Bahrain.

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
