The inaugural INMerge Investment Forum, co-hosted by PASHA Holding and the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ), successfully took place in Baku on September 28, establishing a new platform for cross-border investment dialogue in Central Eurasia and Middle East.
With over 160 participants representing 90+ organizations from 18 countries, and a collective $4 trillion in Assets Under Management (AUM), the Forum brought together leading Limited Partners (LPs), General Partners (GPs), and policy makers from the CCA, CEE, GCC, and SEA regions.
Designed as a high-impact, tightly curated gathering, the Forum aimed to elevate the region’s role in the global private markets landscape and to position Azerbaijan as a trusted gateway.
Key agenda topics included:
- Central Eurasia’s Role in Global Investment Trends;
- The Evolving LP Mandate – From Traditional Assets to Alternatives;
- Lessons from Building a Top-Performing Fund.
Community partners included Azerbaijan Investment Holding (AIH), Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), PASHA Investments, and Tenity.
The Forum sets the foundation for Baku to become a premier investment convening hub, with ambitions to expand in scope and scale in future editions.
