The Libyan British Business Council (LBBC) reported yesterday that, in partnership with Libya’s Privatization and Investment Board (PIB), it hosted the Libya–UK Business Conference in London, a forum designed to connect UK companies with senior decision-makers from Libya’s private sector.
The joint welcoming speeches from LBBC Chairman, Peter Millett and Abdelnaser Najm, PIB Chairman, outlined the conference objectives: practical routes to market, partnership structures, and pathways for banking and investment to support real projects on the ground.
There then followed short sector briefings, covering supply-chain and logistics, digital and e-commerce transformation, and banking solutions to support trade and investment.
These briefings set the scene for a panel and Q&A on ‘‘Doing Business in Libya and the UK’’, addressing market entry, procurement processes, compliance, financing options, and how the LBBC and PIB can support companies at each step.
In the afternoon, a networking session followed with B2B meetings used to scope potential partnerships, supplier agreements, and service contracts. The LBBC reported that together with the PIB it helped identify concrete next steps and supported coordinating follow-ups.
The event was supported by partners: the UK Department for Business & Trade, BExA, the West London Chamber and the Middle East Association.
