Iran Risk Business Briefing

Event Review

Following on from the success of last year's Iran Risk Business Briefing in London, Exporta revisited the issues of political, economic and trade risks with Iran once again.

For the 90 delegates in attendance the event proved extremely informative, with four interesting presentations offering a concise overview of the current situation.

Delegates mingled with like-minded participants and enjoyed the opportunity to discuss this hot topic. 

Delegate comment:

Well rounded. Like last years event, assisted those dealing with the country.
Corus International Trading
