After years of war and sanctions, Iraq is now in a position to rebuild their social infrastructure of housing, road networks and power and utilities networks.

This government led forum provides companies looking to venture into Iraq with the guidance required to set up business, make contacts and navigate the Iraqi business culture in order to invest in and benefit from the large infrastructure and development projects that will be required to rebuild Iraq.
