The DIB provides you with an ideal network right in Baghdad, which is where New Business in Iraq is generated. Some European companies have their offices outside Iraq - for example in Amman - thereby de facto cutting themselves off from the country's rapid development. For security reasons the DIB usually holds business meetings for foreigners in Amman, Dubai or Aqaba, but on top of this also offers a direct connection with the Iraqi capital.

The right time for investments: Now that the elections have been held all the signals are pointing to growth. In spite of its current difficulties Iraq has the potential of becoming one of the biggest export markets for German products in the medium term. German companies are held in high esteem by Iraqis and, in international comparisons, products and expertise from the Federal Republic rank ahead of their rivals from the USA, Great Britain or Japan. Because of the unusual situation in Iraq it is precisely now that unusual deals can be clinched. At any rate German companies should be preparing themselves for entry into the Iraqi market with a suitable portfolio of goods and services.
