Azerbaijan has joined the International Investment Forum of Culture and Art Exhibition in Manama, Bahrain.

Azerbaijan`s Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s official Gunel Aslanova made a presentation about Azerbaijan at the opening ceremony.

The forum is organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), under the patronage of Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Bahrain’s Prime Minister.

The three-day event will explore the main issues faced by entrepreneurs worldwide. Public and private stakeholders, academia, entrepreneurs, development agencies, finance institutions and civil society organizations will take part and will capitalize on each other’s expertise and experience in the areas of entrepreneurship development and investment promotion.

The forum will provide participants with an opportunity to acquire the latest expertise in the field, expand networks, build partnerships and develop new joint projects. It is expected that the recommendations made at the forum will lead to the adoption of a Bahrain Declaration on Entrepreneurship Development.

More than 1000 stakeholders will participate from all over the world, including high-level delegations from international organizations and institutions such as the Arab Thought Forum; the Islamic Development Bank; the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA); the General Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for Arab Countries; and the Arab International Centre for Entrepreneurship and Investment.

The forum’s sessions will focus on fostering entrepreneurship development, financial models to support entrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs, and support institutions for entrepreneurs. In addition, parallel panels will showcase entrepreneurship development examples in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, including the BRICS countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
