About the event

As global interest in the Caspian region grows, Azerbaijan emerges as a strategic gateway for business expansion and investment. Its critical location at the crossroads of East-West trade routes is being strategically enhanced by major infrastructure and energy projects. This unique positioning makes it an important hub for companies which are interested in entering the market. Understanding the local legal and tax framework is now crucial for capitalizing on this dynamic market.

This focused session provides a comprehensive introduction to establishing and operating a business in the country. During our online event we will discuss:

  • Corporate laws – company registration, sale and purchase of shares
  • Migration issues
  • Taxation – tax benefits and exemptions
  • EPC contracts – a structure for successful investments in Azerbaijan
