Dear Education Professional  – Dear Friend, 
 

I have a great pleasure to host Finland Pakistan Business Summit again, and this time we are doing something very interesting for the first time since the first event in snowy Helsinki in 2012 – FPBS 2025 will arrive to three cities in three days, so Islamabad (May 5), Lahore (May 6) and closing the tour in Karachi (May 7). Technology, Education, Future – that’s the main theme in three words, professional B2B event hosting meetings, bridging people and companies.

It’s always about education. Whether we talk about business, technology, industries, development of society or whole country. And that’s why we are bringing back the FPBS Education Afternoon for just outstanding talks, meetings and actions covering the whole pipeline of education from pre-school to K12, modern skills and academic collaboration. From Finland to Pakistan, for Future of Pakistan!
