The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has officially launched its participation in the World Economic Forum 2026 with the reopening of Kurdistan House in Davos. The platform aims to present the Kurdistan Region as a center for investment, innovation, and regional cooperation.
Additionally, established under the guidance of Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, Kurdistan House serves as a dedicated space for dialogue with global leaders, investors, and institutions. According to an official statement, the main goal of Kurdistan House Davos 2026 is to showcase the region’s economic potential and open new channels for international partnerships.
Therefore, building on its successful debut at the 2024 World Economic Forum, Kurdistan House continues to expand its role. This year, it focuses on deeper engagement and practical outcomes. From January 19 to January 23, the venue will host daily open-house sessions and targeted meetings. Traditional Kurdish tea will accompany discussions to encourage informal networking and relationship-building.
Moreover, the Kurdistan House Davos 2026 agenda reflects a strong emphasis on geopolitics, sustainability, and economic development. Organizers stated that promoting regional stability and stronger cooperation is essential for long-term growth in Kurdistan and Iraq. Discussions will also explore inclusive energy transition strategies and the role of public-private partnerships in sustainable development.
Investment remains a core priority. The platform highlights opportunities in real estate, urban development, modern infrastructure, and industry. Youth empowerment and the role of the Kurdish diaspora are also central themes. Organizers believe young talent is key to unlocking future growth.
Several high-level panel discussions are scheduled. On January 20, a session titled “Building from Within” will feature local investors and business leaders discussing growth and challenges. Another panel will focus on artificial intelligence, exploring its impact on creativity, entertainment, and youth education.
On January 21, education and workforce development take center stage. Experts will discuss aligning education systems with labor market needs. Later, industry-focused panels will present Kurdistan as open for manufacturing and industrial investment. The program concludes with discussions on digital transformation and innovation.
Beyond economics, Kurdistan House promotes social priorities. These include women’s peace and security, youth reskilling, cultural heritage, and tourism as drivers of sustainable growth.
The return of Kurdistan House to Davos highlights the KRG’s commitment to active global engagement.
