Evidence snapshot for Baghdad
Baghdad's evidence base in the CONTEXT covers three distinct domains. Iraq's customs authority deployed AI-assisted risk-scoring through ASYCUDA World, which roughly doubled customs revenue in 2024 (up 128% between 2023–2024), though Baghdad International Airport saw even steeper growth at 215%, and the rollout created friction with approximately 76,000 uncollected containers at ports after stricter fee assessments. The Station, Baghdad's first co-working hub for entrepreneurs, opened in February 2018 with 35 desks and expanded into Iraq's leading entrepreneurship hub, later adding accelerator programming and a partnership with the Founder Institute to connect Iraqi founders internationally. The CONTEXT does not provide outcome data (such as startup survival rates, job creation, or revenue generated) for The Station, limiting what can be concluded about its impact on Baghdad's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
