The International Group of Entrepreneurs (Burmese: အိုင်ဂျီအီး ကုမ္ပဏီအုပ်စု; IGE Group) is one of Myanmar's 5 largest conglomerates, possessing 13 subsidiaries that employ 4,000 people.[1] IGE also possesses Myanmar's second largest timber trading company. It also exports Burmese rice. IGE Group of Companies was established in 1994 in Burma, and registered in Singapore in 2001. The company is also active in the country's oil and gas sector.[citation needed] In 2007, IGE earned over US$75 million in revenues.[1] The company was previously subjected to economic sanctions by the United States government, because of its ties to the State Peace and Development Council, the former military junta.[2]

It is owned by Ne Aung, the son of Aung Thaung, a politician and former military general.[3]
