Pak-UK Business Expo 2025 – Collaborations

Strengthening Trust through Strategic Partnerships

At the heart of the Pak-UK Business Expo 2025 lies a powerful vision: building a trusted, two-way bridge of investment, trade, and collaboration between Pakistan and the United Kingdom. This vision is only possible through partnerships with institutions that embody credibility, influence, and shared commitment to economic growth.

We are proud to collaborate with two esteemed partners whose support ensures the successful commencement of this landmark event:

Consulate General of Pakistan – Manchester

The Consulate General of Pakistan in Manchester serves as the official diplomatic mission representing Pakistan’s government in the North of England. Tasked with fostering bilateral relations, supporting the Pakistani diaspora, and promoting trade and investment opportunities, the Consulate General plays a vital role in connecting Pakistan with UK stakeholders.

Role in Pak-UK Business Expo 2025

  • Official Endorsement & Credibility: Their backing adds significant authenticity and diplomatic recognition to the Expo, assuring participants of the event’s legitimacy and strategic importance.
  • Diplomatic Networking: Facilitates engagement between Pakistani exhibitors and UK policymakers, investors, and corporate leaders.
  • Community Engagement: Bridges connections with the vibrant Pakistani diaspora in the UK, encouraging active participation and investment back into Pakistan.

Through the Consulate General’s involvement, the Expo becomes more than an exhibition — it transforms into a government-backed platform for meaningful dialogue and high-impact partnerships.

Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ICCI) 

Founded to represent and advance Pakistan’s business community, the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry is one of the country’s most influential trade bodies. With a diverse membership spanning multiple industries, ICCI is committed to promoting sustainable economic growth, supporting SMEs, and strengthening Pakistan’s presence in global markets.

As per ICCI’s official commitment, their role in this Expo is comprehensive and strategic:

  1. Strategic Planning & Execution:
    ICCI will be directly involved in planning, ensuring seamless alignment between the visions of both Pakistan and UK stakeholders for a high-impact event.
  2. Leadership Representation:
    The ICCI President and full Cabinet will attend the Expo, showcasing Pakistan’s business leadership and reinforcing the event’s stature.
  3. Business Delegation Mobilization:
    ICCI will invite and facilitate participation of member businesses from various sectors, connecting them with UK enterprises for B2B collaborations.
  4. International Trade Engagement:
    ICCI will work to engage with UK trade bodies, chambers of commerce, and government representatives to forge long-term trade and investment partnerships.

This collaboration will help attract foreign investment, strengthen SME linkages, and highlight Pakistan’s export potential on the global stage.

Why These Partnerships Matter

The joint endorsement from Pakistan’s government officials (via the Consulate General) and a leading national trade body (ICCI) ensures that the Pak-UK Business Expo 2025 is not just another business event — it is a trusted, state-and-private sector-backed platform for:

  • Foreign Direct Investment into key industries
  • SME Growth through B2B linkages
  • Diaspora Engagement and reinvestment in Pakistan
  • Cross-Border Collaboration in trade, technology, and innovation
  • Long-Term Economic Ties between Pakistan and the UK

Looking Ahead – 11 October 2025

With these strategic collaborations in place, the stage is set for an extraordinary gathering at Usmania Banqueting Hall, Manchester, where policymakers, industry leaders, diaspora investors, and corporate decision-makers will unite under one roof.

The Pak-UK Business Expo 2025 is more than a one-day event — it’s the beginning of a new era of bilateral cooperation, mutual growth, and shared prosperity.
