Iraq Energy Institute Announces its 5th Iraq Energy Forum

It is our utmost pleasure to announce our 5^th Iraq Energy Forum (IEF 2019), taking place in Baghdad’s Royal Tulip Al-Rasheed Hotel on 14^th – 17^th September 2019. Following tradition with previous years, the conference will be held in cooperation with the Iraqi Government. The theme of this year’s forum is ‘Energy Cooperation for Middle East Peace & Prosperity’.

As Baghdad strengthens its relations with its neighbours through diplomatic and trade ties, we will explore the impact of this strategy both within the Middle East and internationally in these politically tumultuous times.

IEF 2019 will address this and other key issues, including:

• Iraq’s re-emergence after the war on ISIS and its position as a regional unifier;
• Energy industry agility against global uncertainties and the role of OPEC;
• The capacity of the energy sector in spurring synergies with the rest of the economy; and
• Empowering women in the energy field and ensuring their contribution to the economy.

The event brings together an exclusive line up of policymakers, government officials, industry leaders, investors, experts, diplomats and company executives. Our previous forums have seen participation by leading thinkers and practitioners across the spectrum of energy-related disciplines.
