Trade & Investment
Why each market is worth entering, how entry works in each direction, and the sectors where the Board is concentrating its introductions.
Why invest in Iraq
Why invest in the United StatesInvestment and trade opportunities
Investment and trade opportunities are submitted through the Business Network, reviewed by the Board and listed here with the sector, the country, the type of counterpart sought and a contact route for members. The first listings will appear as submissions are reviewed.
Market entry
Who is the buyer, how is it funded, and what has already been awarded in that sector.
Direct contracting, a local agent or distributor, a joint venture, or an investment licence.
Registration, ownership, references and sanctions screening before any commitment.
Payment security, governing law, dispute resolution and local content requirements.
U.S. export controls and anti-corruption law, Iraqi licensing, tax and labour rules.
Real estate, an operating business, a distribution arm or a technology partnership.
Entity type, state of formation and the incentives available for the sector.
Visas, banking relationships, know-your-customer requirements and any national security review.
Counsel, accountants, bankers and an operating partner who knows the market.
Federal and state tax, employment law and annual filings.
This is orientation, not legal advice. The Board introduces members to counsel and advisers in both countries.
Priority sectors
This list is the Board's working set and will be confirmed when the first sector committees are formed.
Technology and knowledge transfer
Iraq is rebuilding capacity in power, water, healthcare, higher education and digital services. The Board pairs American companies and universities that hold that know-how with Iraqi partners who need it, through licensing, training, joint ventures and applied research agreements.
