Summit & Agenda
Welcome to join the Growth & Networking!
Networking, meetings, talks and business.
Be ready for the next one, FPBS 2026!
We are bridging together businesses, business owners, educationists, decisions makers, suppliers, buyers, traders, industries for networking and new business.
The main focus of FPBS events is always supporting networking, boosting bilateral trade and investments in all industry and business sectors. In addition to those various talks and actions, as well as all B2B meetings and presentations taking place during the day.
In addition to the shows on stage and meetings under FPBS umbrella, we are hosting plenty of pre-tailored 1-to-1 meetings in every city, between the participating companies and institutions, and representatives of Federal and Provincial Governments, international organizations and other entities. These meetings are tailored in areas like energy, environment technologies, mining, infrastructure, education, sustainability and related to regulations, legal issues, new business opportunities, possible barriers you faced with your investment or business plans in Pakistan, or anything else where you might need support from the highest decision makers or you want to share your views with them.
It’s all about connecting and networking for business!
It’s always a year to go to the next one, but it’s time to start planning now. Please let us know if you have any special requests in terms of certain business sectors, companies or people.
And yes, the deeply loved FPBS Education Talks® is there for good, with the best educationists from Finland, Pakistan and beyond, with the top educationists, governmental agencies, schools, universities, and all others working with the educational sector in Finland and Pakistan.
FPBS events are all private, from business to business, non-profit platform to connect people, companies, institutions and investors. If you are interested to enjoy the platform as a sponsor or partner, please contact us as soon as possible!

Finland Pakistan Business Summit 2026.
We are always bringing the best knowledge, mixing with the best ideas, boosting the future and connecting people. And yes, definetely we are also talking about the booming mining sector of Pakistan, one of the fastest growing in the world! And maybe the gigantic textile business of Pakistan and Finnish environmental technologies might have something in common under many major policy changes in the EU? And what about all the possibilities for close collaboration in the education sector, academic research, supporting management skills and entrepreneurship? High-tech, fintech, edtech, health-tech, AI, startups, gaming? Logistic, engineering, manufacturing, investment? The list of opportunities is basically almost endless but when the right people meet, everything is possible and that’s is exactly why we have been hosting these events since 2012.
Yes, FPBS is also about some talks on stage but that’s not why we are doing this: we are there to host the meetings between the participating companies, institutions and key stake holders.
We’ll bring the people together for business!
During the event we have always meeting rooms ready for your B2B meetings, talks and negotiations. The final setup of FPBS is always built by the companies joining us – that’s how new business relations and growing business is built together.
Please note that the final agenda is shared with registered delegates only. And f you are interested to become a sponsor or partner, please contact us for details and opportunities.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR BUSINESS SUMMIT?
Some Best Practices of 2012-2025
We have been hosting these events over the last decade and received plenty of feedback from participating companies and their representatives. Business Summit is a platform enabling networking, talks and new business but you need to prepare yourself for maximum results, here’re som of best practices:
1. Do Your Homework: Make a list of industries, business sectors or companies you wish to meet during the Summit. Google the market, analyze data, contact your own Embassy, Consulates, Honorary Consulates, trade bodies. What ever information you feel you’re needing, look for it. And most of all, who do you want to meet and why?
2. Invite Your Customers: Go through your own customer database or any earlier contacts you have had, or emails you received from potential new customers asking about your products or services. Maybe someone has indicated their interest to become your supplier or distributor? Make sure these will come and meet you at the Summit – there are plenty of rooms to meet them during the official agenda.
3. Prepare Your Materials and Offer: Make sure that you have materials ready and with you at the Summit, and keep clear what you are actually looking for. New business, more business, new partners, distributor, suppliers, agent? Clearer message, better results. And keep changing business cards and make sure you get back to everyone you met.
4. Use Summit to Promote You and Your Company: Summit offers a great opportunity to promote your company for new business and new customers. In addition to normal visibility there are also various opportunities for sponsoring, running your own mini exhibition or meetings, own stands or something else.
5. And finally, the golden rule #1: Be Active! And start it now. Start to collect details and build your own Summit package based on the things above. Meet people at the Summit, talk, change business cards, be active. Many of the Pakistani companies are multi-business corporations or family offices, something the Finnish companies used to be years ago, so talk and meet because you never know what is waiting for you behind the corner.
