The Sulaymaniyah National Entrepreneurship Summit is Iraq’s premier event, held under the direct supervision of His Excellency, the Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, designed to unite and showcase the most innovative and promising entrepreneurial projects from across the entire nation. This is not a local gathering; it is a national stage for innovation, attracting talent and vision from every corner of the country to one central hub of opportunity. The summit will serve as a powerful platform for these entrepreneurs to present their ventures to a curated audience of influential investors, government officials, and industry leaders. The event’s purpose is to transcend geographical and sectoral boundaries, fostering a truly national ecosystem of innovation and investment. This event is a powerful testament to the region’s burgeoning entrepreneurial ecosystem and a significant catalyst for economic growth and youth empowerment, creating a truly national network of innovation.

This capstone event is the culmination of the “Youth Entrepreneur Bootcamp,” a landmark program implemented in the Sulaymaniyah and Halabja provinces. Launched on August 12, 2025, to coincide with International Youth Day, the bootcamp has empowered 125 participants from five distinct locations: Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Kalar, Chamchamal, and Ranya.
