Ahead of the summit, UANI warned attendees about the projects being showcased at the event that were tied to sanctioned entities. On the day of the summit, UANI ran a full-page advertisement in the Financial Times Asia, outlining the business risks that corporations, financial institutions, investors, and shareholders would face in entering the Iranian market, specifically the risk of engaging commercially with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a sanctioned terrorist organization.
