As his Excellency Mr Nematzade mentioned our priorities for industry development is long-term cooperation.
Especially in form of JV and joint investment in feasible projects in diverse fields of industry such as ptero, agri, mineral, metal, medical and so on.
So foreign investors could establish a common firm with domestic companies without any limitation for foreign investors share percentage.
The share of foreign investor could be minority or majority based on their policies or even 100% share of foreign investor is possible
Meanwhile all the forms of finance contracts such as BOT or BOO could be considered.
