The Finland-Pakistan Business Council (FPBC) organized on Monday the 10th edition of its legacy Finland Pakistan Business Summit 2023 in Islamabad. This year, the summit primarily focused on expanding cooperation in the energy and education sectors to boost bilateral trade, investment, and exchange of technical expertise for shared growth and development.
The summit was inaugurated by Ambassador of Finland Hannu Ripatti.
Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi chaired a session on the occasion titled ‘Future of Energy Landscape in Pakistan.’
More than 20 Finnish companies, the majority from the energy and education sectors, participated in the summit, which was also attended by prominent business owners, business representatives, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives from Pakistan.
The summit essentially is a networking platform that has facilitated business cooperation between the two countries for more than a decade.
It has helped explore business opportunities, share expertise, and help Pakistani businesses use the Finnish corridor to access the enormous markets in the European Union and the Nordic region.
