The U.S. Embassy, in collaboration with the American Chamber of Commerce in Bahrain (AmCham), is thrilled to announce the launch of the annual Discover America Week event from October 21-27, 2020.

Discover America Week will highlight American companies, products, and technology in the manufacturing, health, education, and logistics sectors that have helped Bahrain’s citizens and residents thrive and succeed safely during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Maggie Nardi kicks off Discover America Week with a brief op-ed in a local newspaper and a launch video posted to the embassy’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, and will inaugurate the schedule of activities by taking a tour of a Lulu Hypermarket store in Manama to feature the wide selection of American food products available in one of Bahrain’s most popular shopping establishments.

In addition to Lulu Hypermarket, Al Jazira and Al Shaya have also joined the U.S. Embassy to promote U.S. exports, and all three companies will offer significant discounts on American products and brands.  Don’t miss out on the great deals during Discover America Week!

Turning to the U.S. Embassy’s commercial partners, Discover America Week will showcase American made digital platforms and educational tools to support remote and in-person learning at the American University of Bahrain, the American School of Bahrain, and the Bahrain School, as well as cutting edge medical technology at the American Mission Hospital and life-saving personal protective equipment manufactured at WestPoint Home’s local factory.

The U.S. Embassy will spotlight America’s contributions to the new passenger terminal at Bahrain International Airport, including the construction design capabilities of international engineering giants Hill International and AECOM and the state-of-the-art baggage screening system installed by defense titan L3.

Finally, the U.S. Embassy, in collaboration with AmCham, will present two virtual webinars to expand awareness of opportunities for local companies in Bahrain to access the American market through the U.S.-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement.

The U.S. Embassy and AmCham are committed to promoting new business and investment opportunities for our private sector partners and fostering stronger commercial ties between the United States and Bahrain.
