Since the 2nd century BC Iran has been at the heart of
the Silk Road, facilitating trade and commerce as well
as acting as a hub for exchange of ideas and knowledge
between East and West. The wider frameworks that
governed the region’s economic exchange for two
millennia remain intact to this day.
Being the 18th largest economy worldwide, Iran is
the final major market to be untouched by the global
economy and has yet to reach its fullest potential in the
international market.
It is our goal in the Tehran Chamber of Commerce to ensure
that Iran’s natural as well as human resources are utilized
fully to boost high economic growth, offering profitable
opportunities to investors and creating jobs for the country’s
youthful population.
Traditionally, the main focus of our trading partners has been
the country’s natural resources, particularly those of oil, gas,
and petrochemicals. While these resources are undoubtedly
crucial to our economy and capable of creating a mutually
beneficial scenario for our partners by offering greater
diversification and security of supply, it is also imperative
that more attention is paid to fostering the growth and
development of the Iranian private sector, especially
SMEs involved not only with the production of goods and
services, but also with innovation and the development of
new industries.
To this end, TCCIMA has formed an Investment Center
comprising prominent members of the TCCIMA board with
first-hand experience to facilitate contact between its
members and their counterparts in the global ecosystem.
The objective is to provide a vibrant platform for
the exchange of ideas, sharing of experiences and
development of new professional services apt to help
foster new relations and partnerships which is imperative
for the creation and successful realization of joint
ventures, with the outlook of serving the interests of Iran
as well as that of the region.
As the president of TCCIMA, I invite you to visit Iran and
witness for yourself the opportunities our country has to
offer as a basis for mutually beneficial co-operations.
Iran's current economic environment is at a time of transition, as we are strongly looking forward to strengthening our mutual collaboration with international community to achieve economic growth, I'm delighted to say that TCCIMA has formed an investment promotion committee comprising prominent members of the TCCIMA boards with a good experience of the international business environment in order to accelerate economic relations with foreign investors by considering the following targets:
1. To be the “Voice of Business”.
2. To promote economic growth.
3. To provide value-added services to our members.
4. To excel as a member-driven organization.
It's our firm belief that a sustainable investment and development of the country is now achievable and business meetings can highlight Iran as a new center of globalization and provide insights on the best practices in extending our corporations.
We believe Iran offers a safe haven for investors seeking to create value for themselves whilst playing a part in the development of the Iranian economy.

Beside all these, In order to provide investment security and transparency (the two essential factors for attracting foreign direct investment) it is essential that both government and private sector cooperate effectively, and this requires the provision of a comprehensive strategic plan and systematic cooperation of both side. In this regard, Tehran Chamber and OETAI has signed an MOU with following missions and goals:

It is essential for Iran to move fast to map the present fabric for information provision, how investors operate and how they are affected, identify what gaps exist and provide hands-on recommendations for how an effective Invest-in-Iran could and should be devised. It is essential that the private sector itself, and its chief arm, the Chamber of Commerce, adopts a leading role in defining the way forward.
