With a strong focus on sustainable development and modern technologies, the IDR Expo delivers highly relevant solutions to key challenges—from high-speed rail, intelligent port logistics, and maritime environmental technologies to bridge and tunnel engineering, modular construction, advanced surveying tools, and innovative energy sources such as wind, hydrogen, and smart grid systems.
Organized by GET Events, an experienced exhibition organizer based in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, the IDR Expo will be held at the Basrah International Fairground – a key exhibition center in southern Iraq known for its modern infrastructure, accessibility, and ample parking facilities. Located in Basra, a vital economic hub with direct access to seaports, the venue is especially attractive to international professionals and investors.
What sets the IDR Expo apart is not only its clear thematic focus but also its alignment with Iraq’s strategic vision to build a high-performance, future-oriented infrastructure network. For companies looking to position their technologies in the Middle East or support long-term development projects, it serves as the ideal marketplace. Trade visitors can expect a highly curated environment featuring targeted B2B networking, international partnerships, and deep sector expertise.
In this way, the IDR Expo is not only useful—offering real solutions to real challenges—but also unique, as the first event of its kind to bring this cross-sector perspective to Iraq. A must-attend for anyone looking to shape the infrastructure of tomorrow.
The IDR Expo in Basra took place from Monday, 08. December to Thursday, 11. December 2025.
