Digital Transformation Center Iraq

Companies and MSMEs in Iraq face challenges in adapting to the evolving demands of the digital and green economies. DTC Iraq supports them in developing sustainable business strategies through tailored business development services, mentorship, and coaching.

Our approach includes a range of implementation measures, such as training programmes, investment networks, and incubation and acceleration initiatives. The primary target groups are start-ups, MSMEs, and companies in the digital and green sectors that can significantly benefit from enhanced capacity building and strategic investments. By focusing on these groups, we aim to foster sustainable business development, enabling them to scale their operations and contribute to a more diverse economy in Iraq.

In Iraq, a gap exists between the skills graduates possess and the demands of the digital and green economies, leaving many unemployed. To bridge this gap, DTC Iraq enhances the employability of Iraqis by equipping them with labour-market-oriented digital, green, and soft skills.

Our focus is on job seekers, employees, entrepreneurs, and self-employed, helping them gain advanced skills to improve their employment prospects. Whether by securing new jobs or advancing in their current roles. This effort supports skill development and a sustainable digital and green economy, preparing individuals for future challenges and opportunities that contribute to a more dynamic and inclusive economy.

MSMEs, start-ups, and individuals in Iraq face significant barriers to accessing financial services. DTC Iraq works to improve this situation by developing, adapting and introducing new financial products tailored to the needs of businesses operating in the digital and green economies.

By engaging financial institutions alongside private sector entities, we aim to build sustainable financial ecosystems that unlock support for entrepreneurs and MSMEs, enabling them to grow and create jobs.

Effective laws and regulations are essential for a thriving digital and green economy. DTC Iraq supports policy processes through data-driven approaches, public-private dialogue, and strategic partnerships that promote an enabling environment for business and employment growth.

In partnership with global and local organisations and public institutions, we engage policymakers, the private sector, and key stakeholders through research, dialogue, and advocacy. DTC Iraq aims to support evidence-based policymaking to help Iraq build a stronger regulatory foundation for its digital and green transition.
