Middle Corridor,” the conference will bring together senior
government officials, business leaders, international financial
institutions and financing partners to discuss concrete investment
opportunities and cooperation along the Middle Corridor.

translate this momentum into stronger business cooperation and
concrete investment opportunities, particularly in infrastructure,
transport and logistics, green energy and digitalization.
As a permanent platform between business and government, AHK

the Republic of Azerbaijan, will deliver the keynote address during
the afternoon session.
Particular attention will be given to the evolving role of the
Middle Corridor as a strategic trade and connectivity route between
Europe, Azerbaijan and Central Asia, and to the investment required
to strengthen transport infrastructure, logistics, energy
transmission and digital connectivity.
Four high-level panel discussions will focus on Infrastructure
and Energy, Investment, Transport and Logistics, and
Digitalization. Discussions will address infrastructure needs, port
and railway development, trade and transit efficiency, the role of
MDBs and export credit agencies (ECAs) in mobilizing capital,
renewable energy transmission, and digital solutions supporting
cross-border trade and connectivity. The investment panel will also
include the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and
Energy.
The programme will conclude with three Business-to-Government
(B2G) roundtables focusing on Transport and Logistics
Infrastructure, Green Energy Transition, and Digitalization &
Trade. These sessions are designed to enable direct dialogue
between businesses and public-sector decision-makers, identify
concrete project opportunities and address practical barriers to
investment and cooperation.
