2 Overview Following the historic nuclear deal with Iran, the planned lifting of international economic sanctions and subsequent endorsement by the Iranian Parliament, it is expected that not only will this lead to a significant increase in oil production and exports, but also to many other international investment opportunities and partnerships. Iran s energy sector involves a range of activities from production to consumption and trading of energy and electricity. Iran holds the fourth-largest oil reserves and the second-largest natural gas reserves in the world. Considered to be an energy superpower, Iran is one of the leading members of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and the Organization of Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF).

The forum will provide multinationals the chance to develop Iran s energy and oil and gas fields, the Transport & Transit Infrastructure, Commercial & state revenues. Iran is also among the biggest subsidizer of energy in the world and natural gas and oil consumption account for about half of Iran s domestic energy consumption. Even though increasing energy consumption efficiently by utilizing new technologies is a top priority, Iran and Qeshm are just as keen to reach out to the international community offering a whole host of project opportunities in the sectors of Construction, Transport and Transit Development, ICT, Banking and Insurance, Agriculture, Fisheries and Tourism.

3 Why have we partnered with Qeshm Free Zone Organisation? Qeshm Island was declared a free Zone in 1991, its geographical location, its proximity from Dubai, the laws governing it and the many investment opportunities available on the island make it a very attractive starting point for investors who aspire to do business in Iran. It is easily reachable from Dubai and Tehran using Qeshm Air or Mahan Air. As a free zone, there is no visa requirement for all foreigners to visit the island. Iran plans to turn the island of Qeshm into an energy hub within the next 10 years, through developing oil and gas fields off the Persian Gulf Island. In addition to Hengam oil and gas field which is operational, Hormuz, Taftan, and Tousan oil fields will also be developed to make Qeshm the major oil hub in the region. Hengam oil and gas field lies 70km off Iranian shores near the Hormoz Straight in the Persian Gulf. The field is situated approximately 40km south of Qeshm Island and 30km away from Hengam Island. Qeshm Island is located a few kilometres off the southern coast of Iran (Persian Gulf), opposite the port cities of Bandar Abbas and Bandar Khamir. There are two vast gas fields near the Qeshm Island. One is Gurzin field which yields two million cubic metres of Key Topics to be discussed: New Projects and Announcements Understanding the Contractual Frameworks Governing Investment in Iran Energy and Petroleum Plans, Projects and Opportunities Requirement to bring Iran up to presanctions levels and beyond Power: Capacity and Efficiency Enhancement Towards Green Buildings Which investments will deliver the best returns in the present environment in Iran?

Plans have also been made to build a bridge to connect Qeshm with the rest of Iran. CEO of Qeshm Free Trade Zone; Eng.
