BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 26. President Ilham
Aliyev outlined the points of interest for investors in Azerbaijan
during an event held as part of the 2nd Azerbaijan
International Investment Forum, Trend's correspondent reports from the event.
"What I think could be of interest is the infrastructure that
serves multinational interests. And here comes, first of all,
transportation, logistics, as well as physical infrastructure and
software infrastructure. Because we can build a lot of bridges,
piers, and vessels, but if we do not properly address the current
trends with respect to digitalization and customs administration,
and make the process of handling cargo easier and faster, then we
will lose. Another is electric transmission lines. This also has a
huge potential,” President Ilham Aliyev said during his speech at
the event.
The 2nd Azerbaijan International Investment Forum is being held
in Baku. The two-day forum is organized by the Ministry of Economy
and its subordinate Azerbaijan Export and Investment Promotion
Agency (AZPROMO), with The European House–Ambrosetti as its
strategic partner.
The plenary and panel sessions at the forum address strategic
topics including the Middle Corridor, energy and green transition,
artificial intelligence and digital transformation, infrastructure,
industry and free economic zones, critical raw materials,
agribusiness, financial cooperation, small and medium-sized
business development, tourism, and investment in real estate and
human capital.
