BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 22. The International
Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce sees
opportunities for cooperation with Azerbaijan in critical minerals,
multimodal connectivity and other sectors, ITA told Trend.


"The United States sees significant potential for expanded
commercial cooperation in the areas identified in our Strategic
Partnership Charter signed by President Ilham Aliyev and Vice
President Vance in February. We see particular potential to
cooperate with Azerbaijan in digital transformation, including
cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and e-government solutions,
where U.S. companies are the global leaders with the best
technology. Considering the Trump Route for International Peace and
Prosperity (TRIPP) project, and Azerbaijan's strategic geographic
position, we also see great potential to cooperate on
infrastructure and logistics, particularly multimodal connectivity
and development of the Trans-Caspian International Trade Route,"
said the International Trade Administration.


ITA expressed interest in opportunities at Azerbaijan’s Alat
Free Economic Zone, including in advanced manufacturing, critical
minerals processing, and other sectors that can benefit from
world-class U.S. technology and investment.


"ITA is actively engaging Azerbaijani counterparts across these
sectors through trade promotion programs and bilateral commercial
dialogue," noted the International Trade Administration.


Further, ITA said it welcomes the inaugural Azerbaijan-U.S.
Economic Dialogue as a meaningful step in operationalizing the
Strategic Partnership Charter, translating high-level political
will into concrete trade and investment outcomes. "Together, these
developments reflect a maturing bilateral relationship, one
increasingly defined by technology, innovation, and strategic
industry partnerships alongside traditional energy ties."


ITA and the U.S. Commercial Service actively support trade
missions as a core tool for connecting U.S. companies with market
opportunities in Azerbaijan.







"Sectors of focus for near-term engagement include digital
infrastructure, energy transition, and logistics/connectivity in
line with broader South Caucasus commercial priorities.


The South Caucasus sits at the intersection of major trade
corridors and represents a region of growing strategic and
commercial importance for the United States. ITA always remains
open to collaborating with U.S./Azerbaijan industry groups to
strengthen the institutional architecture for U.S. commercial
engagement across the region, connecting U.S. companies with market
intelligence, local networks, and government-to-government
channels. Azerbaijan plays a central role in this framework given
its position as an energy hub, logistics corridor anchor, and
increasingly, a technology investment destination," said ITA.


Azerbaijan and the U.S. signed important agreements during the
1st Azerbaijan–US Economic Dialogue, held within the framework of
Baku Energy Week in early June.


A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of
Economy and Oracle, and a Strategic Cooperation Agreement was
signed between SOCAR and Lummus Technology.


The Memorandum signed with Oracle will support the development
of digital infrastructure in our country, the application of modern
technologies, and active cooperation in the field of technology
transfer. At the same time, the Agreement signed between SOCAR and
Lummus Technology covers collaboration on the implementation of
efficient solutions and industrial technologies.
