About this event

Easily the biggest new market to enter the global economy in over a decade, Iran offers potentially significant opportunities to the UK supply chain. The recent lifting of most economic and financial sanctions previously imposed on Iran means that the UK and its companies are now largely able to trade freely with the Islamic Republic. 

This export showcase will provide an overview of the Iran energy market post sanctions, look at current project activity and explain the sector structure of the oil and gas industry.

This event will also address the financial challenges as companies should not give up on working in Iran because the UK banking system is making it difficult. There are solutions available to help companies get paid and trade safely in a sanctions compliant manner.
