The Libyan British Business Council (LBBC) has announced an extensive programme of business activities for the next twelve months.
Following a highly successful visit to Tripoli, Misrata and Zliten in March, the LBBC said it will return to Benghazi later this year. Further visits to Tripoli and Misrata will follow next year.
The LBBC is also introducing new initiatives such as webinars, podcasts, and enhanced networking opportunities to provide the most effective and impactful support to its members, both British and Libyan companies.
Speaking to Libya Herald, LBBC Chairman Peter Millett said: “British business is back in Libya. Our members are eager to build on the momentum we have achieved in the last 12 months. The visit to Tripoli, Zliten and Misrata in February highlighted the extensive opportunities for trade and investment between the UK and Libya. The face-to-face event we hosted at the House of Lords on 5 July also revealed the appetite that business leaders have to meet and deepen the commercial and economic relations between our countries.
“Our agenda for the rest of 2024 and 2025 is ambitious and active, including further visits to Libya, with planned business delegations to both Tripoli and Benghazi. Our goal is to build and foster strong connections between British and Libyan private sector companies working across all sectors, facilitating growth that benefits both nations.”
The LBBC says it distinguishes itself among British trade associations through its deep expertise and extensive network in both the UK and Libya. The LBBC says its mission remains firmly focused on promoting, facilitating, and enhancing business relations between the two countries. With over 120 members spanning sectors such as banking, oil and gas, security, consulting, and education, the LBBC says it offers unparalleled opportunities for companies to explore and expand business prospects.
For the upcoming years, the LBBC says its activities will include a series of webinars and workshops designed to brief companies about ways to conduct business in Libya. Networking events, including the annual summer reception in London and ad hoc events with senior visitors, will continue to be a highlight, alongside trade missions to Tripoli and Benghazi. Additionally, members will receive regular updates on Libya’s economic climate, commercial opportunities, and tailored services to support the development of high-value relationships with key individuals and organizations.
The LBBC says it continues to work closely with the British Embassy in Tripoli, the Department for Business and Trade and the Libyan Embassy in London.
It says it acts as an influential, informed, and impartial advocate for UK businesses in Libya, uniquely positioned to help its members achieve their business objectives.
