The forum was organized by the Kurdistan Foundation with support from the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). The primary objectives were:
* Strengthening the private sector and creating decent job opportunities for youth
* Promoting inclusive employment and revitalizing the economic infrastructure of the Kurdistan Region
In another section of the forum, discussions centered on the importance and formulation of future employment policies. Furthermore, it was emphasized that inclusive employment is a key driver for fostering economic development and social cohesion by unlocking the hidden potential of individuals within society.
