The inaugural INMerge Investment Forum, jointly organized by PASHA Holding and the State Oil Fund of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) , convened on September 28 in Baku, bringing together senior representatives from sovereign wealth funds, government institutions, global corporations, private equity firms, asset managers, venture capital funds, institutional investors, and other leading investment organizations.
As a premier invitation-only platform, the Forum is designed to foster dialogue, knowledge sharing, and exploration of investment opportunities between limited partners and general partners. Building on the success of the INMerge Innovation Summit, this new investment-focused platform positions Baku as a recurring hub for global investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.
In his opening remarks, Bahruz Bahramov, Deputy CEO of SOFAZ, noted that the Forum comes at an important moment in Azerbaijan’s economic development. He pointed to energy, connectivity, and diversification as key priorities shaping this trajectory and emphasized that SOFAZ contributes to each by channeling resource revenues into sustainable investments that support stability, growth, and long-term value creation.
“SOFAZ remains committed to long-term, responsible investment guided by transparency, discipline, and internationally recognized standards of governance,” Mr. Bahramov said. “Our shared ambition is for Baku to be a trusted venue where conversations are substantive, partnerships well-structured, and initiatives advanced with accountability.”
