AzMeCo Representatives Participate in Caspian Corridor Conference in London
On March 7, 2014, the second Caspian Corridor Conference was held at the London Stock Exchange, bringing together government officials, business leaders, academics, and media representatives from across the Caspian region and the UK. The event was organized by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), the International Bank of Azerbaijan (IBA), the British-Azerbaijani Business Council (BABC), and Asia House. The management and representatives of the AzMeCo Group of Companies were among the key participants.
The Caspian Corridor Conference is a prominent platform for exploring economic trends, investment opportunities, and cooperation between the UK and the countries of the Caspian region—including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. Following the success of the inaugural event in 2012, the second conference expanded its scope and impact, focusing on growth factors and strategies to overcome regional development challenges.
As part of the conference’s cultural program, AzMeCo’s cultural and creative division—The Buta Arts Centre—organized a grand concert of Azerbaijani classical music at London’s historic Central Hall Westminster. The concert, supported by the International Bank of Azerbaijan, BABC, and the Embassy of Azerbaijan in the UK, featured the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by People's Artist of Azerbaijan, Yalchin Adygezalov.
Buta Arts Centre also contributed to the event’s branding and experience design, developing the visual identity, stage decoration, and a specially curated Azerbaijani menu for conference participants.

Mr. Nasib Piriyev, CEO of the AzMeCo Group of Companies, remarked:
“Everything went according to plan. We aimed to make the conference not only about business discussion but about real business execution. The event gathered influential figures from the region and beyond—an opportunity not to be missed. In addition to the main sessions, intense behind-the-scenes activity was underway—business meetings, negotiations, and the signing of memorandums and contracts. AzMeCo also announced its participation in a major new project. I believe next year will bring even more business activity, and this conference has the potential to evolve into a much-needed, comprehensive business platform for Azerbaijan and the wider Caspian region. Ending the day with a magnificent concert of Azerbaijani classical music has become a beautiful tradition of this conference.”
The Caspian Corridor Conference continues to grow in importance as a catalyst for fostering cross-border investment, dialogue, and collaboration in one of the world’s most strategically important economic corridors.
