Bahraini French Business Club - CAFB was incepted with the idea of excelling the relationship between Bahrain and France in all spheres of life, apart from providing a common platform for Bahraini and French business houses to interact. With more than 120 members as of to-date, CAFB proved to be one of the best business clubs in the Kingdom since its registration in 2000 and a role model for many other business associations.

All of the ingredients necessary for an outstanding Club are in place at CAFB, be it the members who always attend the monthly functions as well as the very dedicated team of executive committee who guarantees the best out of the two countries – in both business and cultural areas.

Our focus in the pursuit of excellence in the ever changing corporate environment has given rise to wide and varied opportunities. CAFB Web Site will be the best tool for networking between members and provide information about Club’s events and serve as a platform for discussions and presentation. CAFB in essence provides that much needed thrust to its members to interact and move along with the ever changing corporate environment.
