We recently hosted our first Cross-Border Business Networking Event, bringing together businesses from Gibraltar and La Línea de la Concepción to explore new opportunities ahead of the treaty’s implementation. Delivered in partnership with World Trade Center Gibraltar and Saccone and Speed, the event created a valuable space for connection, conversation and practical collaboration between the two business communities.
The evening highlighted the clear appetite on both sides of the border to build stronger commercial relationships, with attendees sharing insights, contacts and ideas that could help expand customer bases and strengthen supplier networks. It also reinforced the importance of creating regular opportunities for businesses to meet, particularly at a time when cross-border dynamics are evolving.
This was a positive first step and the beginning of a wider initiative. The GFSB will continue to build on this momentum over the coming weeks and months, with further events planned to deepen engagement and support long-term cross-border partnerships.

The first full month of life under the new Treaty arrangements brought a mixture of early optimism and very real teething problems for businesses. New employment rules landed, a pensions deadline crept closer, one of Gibraltar's most important airlines changed hands and a major local bank announced job cuts.
