Gulf Iraqi Expo, November 1-3, 2007, Manama, Bahrain

This exciting event will be the first trade held by the Government of Iraq outside of Iraq.  The organizer is the Ministry of Trade’s State Company of Iraqi Fairs, owner of the renowned Baghdad Fair.  The selection of the Gulf as the venue for this historic first is no accident: there is plenty of capital there awaiting the right opportunities to pour into Iraq.  Beyond the exhibition, GIX will incorporate matchmaking sessions and a conference program. 

More than 12,000 attendees from Iraq and the Gulf Region are anticipated to encounter some 900 mulitnational names and scores of decision makers from the Iraqi Government representing the 28 Iraqi Ministries. For more information about GIX 2007, visit  www.gixexpo.com
