Hundreds of attendees from over 70 countries gathered in Baku for the second Azerbaijan International Investment Forum on September 25th and 26th, resulting in nearly $11 billion in signed contracts. This year’s forum eclipsed its first edition last year, demonstrating that businesses continue to respond to the newfound stability ushered in by the signing of a draft peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan last August. The forum also shows that companies from around the world remain confident in the Trans-Caspian region’s enduring investment potential. https://t.co/vR1pJ83Cwl
