Executive Head of Iraq’s Communications and Media Commission Supports ITEX IRAQ 2026, Reinforcing the Development of Iraq’s Telecommunications and Technology Sector

ITEX IRAQ 2026 continues to strengthen its institutional partnerships with Iraq’s key government and regulatory bodies in the telecommunications and technology sectors, with the exhibition receiving the support and patronage of the Executive Head of Iraq’s Communications and Media Commission.

The fifth edition of ITEX IRAQ 2026 is held under the patronage of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq, reinforcing the exhibition’s national and strategic importance as a platform for advancing telecommunications, technology, digital transformation, and investment in Iraq.

The support of the Communications and Media Commission reflects its central role in regulating and developing Iraq’s telecommunications and media sectors and in supporting the regulatory and technological environment required to attract investment, strengthen digital infrastructure, improve telecommunications services, and prepare the Iraqi market for emerging technologies and advanced digital services.

Mr. Baligh Abu Kalal has been a long-standing supporter of ITEX IRAQ, having attended and engaged with previous editions of the exhibition on an annual basis even before assuming his current position. His continued presence reflects a sustained commitment to the development of Iraq’s telecommunications and technology ecosystem and to the importance of having a national platform that connects decision-makers, regulators, companies, investors, and experts.

With his current leadership role at the Communications and Media Commission, this support continues within a broader institutional framework, further strengthening cooperation between the Commission and ITEX and reinforcing the exhibition’s role in addressing the future of Iraq’s telecommunications market.

Key areas of focus include modern telecommunications infrastructure, next-generation networks, digital infrastructure, data centers, cloud computing, international connectivity, emerging technologies, and digital transformation.

ITEX IRAQ 2026 also provides a platform for direct dialogue between regulatory authorities, telecommunications operators, technology companies, investors, and solution providers. It enables stakeholders to discuss market challenges, identify new opportunities, review international experiences, and establish partnerships that contribute to the continued development and competitiveness of Iraq’s telecommunications and technology sectors.

The participation of the Communications and Media Commission is particularly significant within the Fifth Telecommunications Forum, which will be held as part of ITEX IRAQ 2026. The forum will address the efficiency of Iraq’s telecommunications market, digital infrastructure, international digital indicators, local technology content, emerging technologies, and digital capacity development.

This cooperation forms part of a broader vision for ITEX as a platform that brings together government institutions, regulatory bodies, the private sector, and international companies to support digital transformation, strengthen the business environment, attract technology and investment, and enhance Iraq’s position within the regional and global digital economy.

The fifth edition of ITEX IRAQ 2026 will take place from 30 September to 3 October 2026 at Baghdad International Fairground, under the patronage of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq, with broad participation from government institutions, regulatory authorities, and leading Iraqi and international companies operating across telecommunications, technology, and digital transformation.
