If your company is considering doing business in Iraq, the Gulf Iraqi Expo, is running November 1-3, 2007 in Manama, Bahrain.
The Gulf Iraqi Expo will be the first trade show held by the Government of Iraq outside of Iraq. This exciting event will be held under the patronage of the Iraqi Ministry of Trade State Company of Iraqi Fairs, organizer of the renowned Baghdad Fair, and the Bahraini Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
It is no accident that Bahrain was chosen as the venue for this historic event: there is abundant capital in the Gulf awaiting opportunities in Iraq. In addition to the exhibition, GIX will incorporate matchmaking sessions and a conference program focused on developments in Iraq. Representatives of regional and multinational corporations are expected to attend, and decision makers from all levels of several Iraqi Ministries will be present.
Though the U.S. government encourages exports to Iraq, precautions must be taken to ensure compliance with any export restrictions governing dual use products.
