Erbil will host an international economic forum on September 20 with major regional business participation. The event will bring together traders and investors from Iraq, Turkey, and Azerbaijan.
The Erbil International Economic Forum will focus on expanding trade and investment opportunities. Organizers also aim to build stronger economic connections among the three countries.
The Erbil Chamber of Commerce and Industry confirmed its preparations for the upcoming event. The chamber reached an agreement to organize the conference after a recent visit to Azerbaijan.
Representatives from the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce also joined discussions about the forum. Iraqi chambers of commerce will coordinate efforts to support the event.
Organizers expect more than 130 participants from Iraq’s central and southern provinces. Participants from the Kurdistan Region will also attend the conference.
Meanwhile, around 150 traders and business owners from Turkey and Azerbaijan are expected to participate. Their presence will create opportunities for direct discussions between companies and investors.
The Erbil International Economic Forum will explore new areas for economic cooperation. It will also encourage stronger commercial partnerships across the three participating countries.
Business representatives will have opportunities to discuss trade, investment, and future projects. Furthermore, the event could help companies identify potential partners in regional markets.
The forum comes as Iraq continues seeking greater international investment and stronger trade relationships. Turkish and Azerbaijani businesses could play an important role in expanding these connections.
For Erbil, the event also highlights the Kurdistan Region’s role in regional economic activity. The city has increasingly hosted meetings involving businesses, investors, and economic institutions.
Organizers hope the forum will lead to practical partnerships after the conference. They also expect discussions to create new opportunities for cross-border investment.
The Erbil International Economic Forum will therefore serve as a platform for business networking. It will connect Iraqi companies with traders and investors from Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Overall, the conference aims to strengthen economic ties while opening new commercial opportunities. Its organizers expect broad participation and stronger cooperation between businesses from all three countries.
