Over 450 UK businesses operate in Azerbaijan, with about 50 in the clean energy sector. Other active sectors include oil and gas, infrastructure, financial services, education, and retail, Trade Commissioner for Eastern Europe and Central Asia and British Consul General in Istanbul, Kenan Poleo, said in an interview with Report.
"My team recently brought UK companies to Azerbaijan to attend Baku Build to showcase UK expertise in architecture and sustainable construction, which was a great success.
COP29 will bring with it huge opportunities to promote British businesses in Azerbaijan. My team in Baku will host a climate finance event with TheCityUK at COP, alongside various other climate-focused events. The UK is well-placed to work with local Azerbaijani businesses in non-oil sectors, especially in renewable energy, infrastructure, education, and health," he noted.
