Nearly 180 companies from 12 countries are attending the fair, showcasing the latest real estate projects in the Kurdistan Region.
The four-day expo is being held at Erbil International Fairground (EIF) in Sami Abdul Rahman Park.
Following the collapse of the former Ba'thist regime in 2003, the Kurdistan Region and particularly the capital Erbil witnessed a boom in investment in real estate projects, thanks to the relative security situation of Iraq's semi-autonomous region.
The business-friendly investment law of the Region is often cited as a crucial factor in drawing foreign direct investment to the Kurdish region.
The total investment that the Region has witnessed so far is $66 billion, according to the official tally.
Strengthening business ties with regional and international countries has been a major theme of the current Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) cabinet, the premier has said on many occasions.
