Jointly organized by the Government of Iraq / Ministry of Trade and the International Trade Centre (ITC) — in collaboration with the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce (FICC) and partners from the private sector and development community — and supported by the European Union, the Forum is Iraq’s premier platform for business connectivity, trade, and investment.

INTF 2026 will bring together Iraqi MSMEs, international buyers, investors, policymakers, and development partners to turn reforms into deals and investment-ready pipelines that strengthen Iraq’s competitiveness. The programme will feature curated B2B matchmaking, an “Iraqi Bazaar” showcasing producers from across Iraq’s governorates, and a supermarket pop-up highlighting Iraq-made products. Participants will also join high-level policy and technical sessions on trade, investment, digital connectivity, and climate-smart competitiveness, alongside networking moments including a cocktail reception. To celebrate Iraqi excellence under the “By Iraqi Hands” initiative, INTF 2026 will include live product showcases—a cooking show—plus the “ Best Iraqi Product of the Year” award and a cultural evening.
