Official at the tourism department of Azerbaijan`s Ministry of Culture and Tourism Gunel Aslanova is representing Azerbaijan at International Investment Forum of Culture and Art Exhibition in Manama, Bahrain.

The forum is organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), under the patronage of Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Bahrain’s Prime Minister.

The three-day event will explore the main issues faced by entrepreneurs worldwide. Public and private stakeholders, academia, entrepreneurs, development agencies, finance institutions and civil society organizations will take part and will capitalize on each other’s expertise and experience in the areas of entrepreneurship development and investment promotion.

The forum will provide participants with an opportunity to acquire the latest expertise in the field, expand networks, build partnerships and develop new joint projects. It is expected that the recommendations made at the forum will lead to the adoption of a Bahrain Declaration on Entrepreneurship Development.

The forum’s sessions will focus on fostering entrepreneurship development, financial models to support entrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs, and support institutions for entrepreneurs. In addition, parallel panels will showcase entrepreneurship development examples in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, including the BRICS countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
