What is IBF

A business network running since 1995

The International Business Forum (IBF) was launched by MÜSİAD in 1995 on the principle of building a lasting “global business network” among the business communities of different countries. The first congress convened in Lahore in 1995; today the network spans 42 business associations across 27 countries.

The platform is governed by the Board of Governors (BOG), made up of the presidents of the member associations. IBF works to build economic ties between countries, develop sustainable models of cooperation and accelerate social and economic development.

Held each year under a set theme, the congresses combine high-level panels with country presentations, multinational investment project pitches and sector-based business meetings.

How the congress works

  • High-level panels

  • Sector-based B2B meetings

    Business-matching sessions are held to grow trade volume between participating companies.

    Technical tours to production facilities and investment zones are part of the programme.
