Azerbaijan: Hub of the Future - Strategic Opportunities for German Companies


January 23rd 2025 | 3 pm - 7 pm (CET)

Azerbaijan, strategically positioned between Europe and Asia, is rapidly emerging as a crucial gateway to vast markets and opportunities in both regions. This event, brought together by the Embassy of Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Economy, Transport, Agriculture, and Viniculture of Rhineland-Palatinate, the IHK for Rheinhessen, the IHK Pfalz, the IHK Koblenz, the IHK Offenbach, the German-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce (AHK) and the German Eastern Business Association (Ost-Ausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft, further in text shortly as OA) aims to showcase the immense potential for German companies in this dynamic landscape.

As Azerbaijan strengthens its role as a logistics and energy hub, especially on the Middle Corridor, new avenues for investment and collaboration in infrastructure and renewable energy are opening up. For German businesses, this represents a unique chance to tap into growing markets and contribute to the region's economic development. With planned investments set to surge and international focus intensifying, now is the perfect time to explore the strategic opportunities Azerbaijan has to offer.
