WUF13 explores impact of mega events on urban development
Baku, May 19, AZERTAC
A panel session on the theme "From events to impact: How Mega Events can Accelerate Sustainable Urban Development and Infrastructure Transformation" was held at the WUF13 Business and Innovation Hub, organized by the German-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce (AHK Azerbaijan).
The session was attended by Madina Jafarli, Head of Quality Management and ESG at AZCON Holding; Katerina Zuban, Managing Director of Rhenus Logistics Azerbaijan llC; Farida Gojayeva, Senior Specialist at Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency and Shahla Abubakirova, Representative of the COP29 Organizing Committee.
The speakers noted that the German-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce, which has been operating since 2012, provides support to companies in market access, business development, and bilateral cooperation as the official representative of the German economy in Azerbaijan.
They mentioned that international events held in Azerbaijan have spurred significant changes in the field of urban infrastructure and sustainable development. Around ten years ago, during the European Games, the main priority was building capacity for managing large-scale events. Today, however, the focus has shifted to issues such as energy efficiency, inclusivity, and climate resilience.
The session also highlighted the role of international partners and global organizations.
It was noted that the demands of international organizations such as the UN are accelerating the transformation of local institutions in the areas of supply chain transparency, green procurement, and carbon emissions tracking.
