We make connections that would not happen otherwise

  • The region and the world in one room

    Officials, executives, investors and experts from the Greater Caspian Region meet counterparts from other parts of the world they would rarely sit down with.

  • Business and culture side by side

    Panels share the programme with concerts, national dinners and an art auction. Ties between countries grow in both.

  • Ideas that become projects

    New technologies and proposals reach the region through our sessions. Some became lasting projects, such as the Caspian Arbitration Society and the Greater Caspian Foundation.
