The Gulf Organisation for Industrial Consulting (GOIC) is to hold a free workshop about the Industrial Market Intelligence Portal (IMI Plus) on Thursday, September 18th, 2014 at its headquarters in Qatar.
The workshop targets stakeholders, decision makers, investors, industrialists and economic analysts, and it aims at introducing them to the IMI Plus portal and its uses. In addition, it allows them to do flexible searches per country, city, industrial activity, raw material and investment opportunities.
Mohammed bin Khamis Al-Mukhaini, GOIC Assistant Secretary-General for Industrial Information and Studies, stated that IMI Plus includes data on nearly 22,000 firms in GCC countries and Yemen, which is a valuable source of information for investors, industrialists and analysts who want to carry out informed researches, product market studies and feasibility studies.
He added that based on this database, they can also target new customers, make sound commercial decisions and seek new industrial investment opportunities since it offers approximately 350 industrial investment opportunities.
The IMI Plus provides detailed data about foreign industries and trade, and more than 400 industrial and socio-economic indicators in a matrix for the seven member states, and also allows determining the market size for a specific product, identifying commercial exchange between GCC countries and other countries all over the globe or according to country group classification and determining the trade balance between any GCC country and foreign countries.
Furthermore, the IMI Plus features data about imports and exports, net imports, design capacities and market size for more than 4,000 goods.
Moreover, the Portal allows users to identify names of factories, the size of their investments and their labour force according to the industrial activities in each country, and also includes information about the distribution of firms within the country.
GOIC is a regional organisation that brings together the U.A.E., the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait and the Republic of Yemen.
