WELCOME TO IRAQ: A LEAP FORWARD

Held following the outstanding success of the inaugural "Iraq: The Future" conference in Baghdad in December 2017, this year this highly anticipated summit returns under the title "Iraq: A Leap Forward" and under the official patronage of the Government of Iraq and the Reconstruction Fund for Areas Affected by Terrorist Operations (REFAATO). Iraq: A Leap Forward is being organised in close collaboration with several Iraqi Ministries each of whom will be unveiling critical investment projects at the conference. We hope you join us in Baghdad for this landmark event!

Iraq has come through a difficult few years and has reclaimed its land and driven out Daesh from its borders. The country is ready to prosper and develop its economy, beginning with the rebuilding and reconstructing of its major cities. The Iraqi Government have successfully received over $30bn in foreign aid and investment, with a further $70bn required in the coming years. The international community has committed investment towards Iraq, highlighting the international investor confidence in the country.

Iraq’s economy is expected to grow rapidly over the coming years, an untapped opportunity with enormous potential. Iraq: A Leap Forward will focus on the key industries propelling Iraq’s reconstruction efforts. With extensive opportunities for investment in infrastructure, construction, agriculture, healthcare, tourism and many others, now is the time to invest in Iraq.
