We will be bringing international investors to Erbil in order to introduce them to the entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as the investment opportunities that our region presents. They will be taken on a tour a day after the main event.

The purpose of this tour will be:

Examining, first-hand and hands-on, the multitude of investment opportunities that Kurdistan has to offer for the international investor.

Obtaining familiarity, with local startup “hotspots” and lucrative investment profiles.

Networking, with like-minded individuals, meeting local business people and getting familiar with their entrepreneurial journeys.
