Massive Market Opportunities in Iraq and Jordan at Rebuild Iraq 2007
Seize Unique Investment Opportunities Offered by Iraq's $100 Billion Reconstruction Market, and Jordan's Development Boom
Iraq's reconstruction market is worth a stunning $100 billion - making it one of the biggest anywhere in the world - and is set to expand further, as yet more contracts are signed and projects drawn up. Frenzied construction activity surrounds hundreds of projects, worth billions of dollars, and spanning every single sector of Iraq's rebounding economy. Iraq's liberal, open markets - almost entirely free of restrictions - are helping fuel construction sector activity. Meanwhile, ever more leading manufacturers and suppliers from across the globe are seizing lucrative slices of Iraq's construction market, and in doing so are helping positively forge the future of the country. Benefits from Iraq's construction sector are set to increase further. The country's revenue generation potential - bolstered by abundant oil and other resources, as well as the long-term commitment of global donors to the reconstruction effort - is enormous. It can rival all other major regional economies.

Access Two Huge Construction Markets - Iraq and Jordan - at One Exhibition in the Bustling, Cosmopolitan Jordanian Capital Amman
There is no better venue for Rebuild Iraq 2007 than the buzzing Jordanian capital Amman. Because of its geographical proximity to Iraq, Jordan has longstanding, close trade ties with the country. Many Iraqi entrepreneurs either live in, or regularly commute to, the Jordanian capital. It's the perfect place for international suppliers to meet Iraqi construction sector players. The flow of Iraqi entrepreneurs in and out of Jordan is streamlined by the Kingdom's business-friendly customs and immigration regulations. Construction sector professionals in Amman for the Rebuild Iraq 2007 exhibition will enjoy exposure to two of the region's most exciting construction markets. It's not just Iraq that's booming. Amman is fast developing into one of the region's most vibrant business hubs, thanks in part to its modern infrastructure and wide array of first-class hotels. Billions of investment dollars are pouring in from around the world. Among Amman's flourishing construction sector gems is the $800 million Al-Abdali Urban Regeneration Project, set on 80 hectares and billed as Amman's revitalized new Downtown. Also causing a stir is the $1 billion Gulf Finance House-initiated Jordan Gate development scheme, a futuristic project comprising two high-rise towers connected to a shopping mall, with a total built-up-area of around 220,000mÇ. Meanwhile, the $362 million mega-tourism Saraya Aqaba project will expand the beachfront of Jordan's Aqaba Dead Sea resort.
