A thriving economy

A stifled but ingenious people yearning to grow and innovate. Abundant oil and gas reserves. A country rich with ancient sites of the Persian empire, marvels of turquoise-laden architecture, majestic mountains, long coastlines, bustling bazaars, distinctive music and arts, glorious food, and a culture of legendary hospitality.

Iran holds great promise to be a cutting-edge economic powerhouse integrated with the world. Cyrus Forum will strategize transformation of Iran’s corrupt rentier state to an advanced economy driven by excellence. Dynamism conducive to entrepreneurship, innovation, and foreign investment is our goal.

We will seek the means for:

—Creating a merit-based system

—Building strong, new infrastructure while healing Iran’s ecology

—Encouraging Iranian business development

—Developing a highly-skilled workforce

—Attracting foreign investment, trade, and tourism

—Reversing predatory economic relations with tyrannical states and building empowering, mutually-beneficial ties with democracies

—Modernizing the oil and gas sector
