Baghdad Trade Show

Economic Development and Reform
28 June 2010

More than 120 companies and almost 100 Iraqi business and government representatives participated in a catalogue show in Baghdad on Sunday the 20^th June.  The event was managed and organised by Upper Quartile and co-sponsored by the U.S. Embassy Baghdad, Baghdad Provincial Reconstruction Team, and G4S.

 

It was another first for Upper Quartile, a follow on from our successful Trade Mission programme.  It provided a unique opportunity for local business leaders and facilitators to network.  Companies participating in the event displayed catalogues and contact information in a variety of sectors including industry, health, water, agriculture, security, education, and consumer goods. 

 

Leanne Case congratulated the group on a successful event and encouraged local business leaders to continue their efforts at developing new opportunities.   The show was another example of how government and business can work together to help improve economic conditions for everyone.
