Erbil International Fairs Center (EIFC)

There is no doubt that the Kurdistan Regional Government pays great importance to the establishment of international fairs and specialised in the land of Kurdistan because of its security and stability and witnessed campaigns of powerful reconstruction in various fields, so the regional government has taken it upon themselves to provide all the supplies necessary for the success of these fairs to provide security and services and facilities necessary for the introduction of goods in and out as well as facilitating the entry of exhibitors and participants across the border ports and airports of Kurdistan.

The idea of holding exhibitions in the land of Kurdistan of Iraq in 2005 started as a result of non-viability of the Baghdad International Fair for its normal time because of security conditions and the use of exhibitions of Iraqi neighbouring states and foreign countries by the regional government felt that it was the first establishment of such exhibitions on the land of Iraq and create an appropriate atmosphere to identify the foreign investors and Arab businessmen to invest in Kurdistan, Iraq and to make Kurdistan a starting point for the reconstruction of Iraq as a whole.

In 2008 the Erbil permanent member of the International Union of International Fair became Exhibitions (UFI).
