Iranian Confederation of Employers' Associations

The Iranian Confederation of Employers' Associations (Persian: کانون عالی انجمن های صنفی کارفرمایی ایران) is an Iranian employers' organisation that describes itself as the highest private-sector employers' body in the country. It is a confederation, meaning its members are themselves associations — provincial employers' chambers, nationwide employers' chambers, and national umbrella associations. Its official website, icea.ir, presents it as the apex organisation for private-sector employers across Iran. The Confederation operates within Iran's tripartite framework, in which employers, workers, and the government negotiate labour and social issues. Its stated aim is to raise the standing of employers in that tripartite structure. It maintains a general assembly, a board of directors, and inspectors, and it communicates with its member organisations through public notices, draft statutes, and notices of meetings. The organisation is active in the 2020s. Its website reports a new statute approved in Azar 1404 (late 2025), a proposed set of statute amendments for an extraordinary general assembly in 1404, the election of new board members and inspectors at an extraordinary general assembly on 21 Ordibehesht 1404 (May 2025), and the appointment of Mr. Farzad Yousefi as deputy secretary-general. It also reports that the Public Culture Council approved 14 Mordad as National Employer Day. The Confederation is a membership-based, non-listed body; no ownership or parent company is disclosed in the available evidence.
