Building Iraq’s digital future 

09 Feb 2026
Al Wasl Ballroom
Iraq Connect

Iraq is a market with massive potential for digital infrastructure investment, not only as a transit route but also as a growing consumer of digital services. We are seeing significant government support for new AI data centres, the national backbone network, and a comprehensive strategy to drive FTTH, along with growing private sector investment. 

  • How is the state-owned backbone network supporting increased fibre deployment? 
  • How are international companies evaluating investment within Iraq? 
  • What will it take to see significant data centre deployments within Iraq?
