May 05 - May 08 2008
The 5th International Rebuild Iraq Exhibition

Outstanding Official Support

56 Government and International Trade Bodies from 36 countries have joined together to support IFP’s 5th International Rebuild Iraq Exhibition, the largest and most prominent exhibition planned in 2008 on the Iraq rebuilding effort. The list of supporting countries runs through all the major powers (the USA, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, Japan, Korea) to most economies in Europe, and the Far East.

Seize unmatched trade and investment opportunities

No country in the region has more business-generating potential than Iraq. Almost two-and-a-half thousand projects are creating massive demand for material and equipment. The U.S. government has set aside $18.6 billion for the rehabilitation of Ira?s electricity, water, oil, health, transportation, agriculture, and telecommunications sectors. Global donors have committed a further total of $13 billion to projects in Iraq. Power facilities and electrical grids need to be restored, oil and gas supplies nurtured, airports, roads and schools rebuilt, and seaports transformed. The country’s fiber optic network must be rehabilitated, its water infrastructure overhauled and its healthcare system reformed. The quality of education needs to be enhanced, local food production industries upgraded, and agricultural productivity increased. Emerging Iraq is in desperate need of a full range of infrastructure products, services and systems,

Be part of a success story

Relive the success of Rebuild Iraq 2007. Last year’s exhibition surpassed all expectations. It attracted more than 986 exhibitors targeting key Iraqi economic sectors, from 44 countries. All 23,000 square meters of exhibition space at the Amman International Fair in Marj El Hamam were fully booked.

Network with the people who really matter

Project Rebuild Iraq 2008 will bring together buyers, manufacturers, suppliers, contractors and specifiers, giving them direct access to project directors, government bodies and a variety of decision-makers involved in the economic rebirth of Iraq. Prime U.S., British and other international contractors and regional subcontractors, who are the leading buyers in Middle East markets, will attend. Exhibitors will also be able to meet and appoint Iraqi, Jordanian, and other Middle East agents and distributors during the show.

Only in Jordan

The Fifth Rebuild Iraq Exhibition will be held in Amman, Jordan’s secure gateway to business with Baghdad and the rest of Iraq. Jordan’s geographical proximity to, and history of trade with, Iraq makes Amman the natural and preferred venue for international companies eager to meet and do business with Iraqi entrepreneurs. Amman boasts an extraordinarily business-friendly environment: The city’s infrastructure and abundance of first-class business-oriented hotels have earned it a reputation as a business oasis in the region. Thousands of Iraqi businessmen have been located in Jordan since the early 1990s. In addition, the relatively simple procedures for Iraqi businessmen obtaining entry visas to Jordan will give scores of Iraqi professionals traveling by road or air from Iraq easy access to the show.


Take care...
