Azerbaijan is becoming an increasingly reliable energy partner for more and more countries.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that President Ilham Aliyev made the remarks in an address to participants of the 2nd Azerbaijan International Investment Forum (AIIF 2026), held in Baku under his patronage.
“Our vision goes beyond energy supplies and also encompasses the development of green energy corridors. This will enable the integration of renewable energy into regional markets and strengthen connectivity between Azerbaijan, the wider South Caucasus, Central Asia and Europe,” he said.
The head of state also said that, alongside the traditional energy sector, Azerbaijan offers significant opportunities in processing, transport and logistics, renewable energy, digital technologies, agriculture and food processing, tourism, infrastructure and other high-value-added sectors, including reconstruction and development opportunities in the liberated territories: “Particular importance is attached to projects that introduce advanced technologies, increase productivity, create skilled jobs and strengthen our integration into regional and global value chains. Modern infrastructure, industrial parks, the Alat Free Economic Zone and public-private partnership mechanisms provide a solid foundation for such cooperation. We will continue improving these instruments and creating conditions that enable investors to implement long-term projects with confidence.”
“Our approach to investment is not limited to attracting capital. We highly value technology, expertise, innovation and access to new markets, and prioritize partnerships that create sustainable value for investors while modernizing Azerbaijan’s economy and strengthening its competitiveness. The 2nd Azerbaijan International Investment Forum is an important platform for developing these partnerships,” Ilham Aliyev emphasized.
The forum highlights Azerbaijan’s broader efforts to diversify its economy and position the country as a hub connecting energy, transport, logistics and investment flows between Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia.
