About APBF
All Pakistan Business Forum (APBF) was formed in May 2011 with the aim to bring Pakistani business leaders, social organizations, media, chambers of commerce, and associations on a united platform.
The Forum seeks a strong and prosperous Pakistan with sustained growth ensured through effective and continued policies resulting in better quality of life for its citizens.
We invite you to be part of a journey that entrepreneurs of your caliber and passion are desirous of undertaking to bring about a positive change in Pakistan.
With constant failure of state apparatus and government institutions, and lack of strategic planning our country is fast approaching a defining moment when we, as a nation, will have to decide if we wish to take the path of prosperity and join ranks with respected nations in the world, or otherwise. At this critical juncture, All Pakistan Business Forum represents your voice to suggest a coherent policy framework to change the direction of the country.
In addition, APBF offers you the ability to network with other businesses worldwide and enhance your share of business in the global village.
Our membership represents a diverse mix of industries, services and trades. However, the most pronounced common element among all of us is the proven track record of success and on-ground delivery along with the utmost desire to overcome the red-tape and status-quo. Transparency and professionalism is the hallmark of our team. In short, we are a group of “implementers” which believes in focused action through strategy and planning.
