Cross Border Business Networking
The Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses (GFSB) will host its first Cross-Border Business Networking Event on Tuesday 17 March 2026, bringing together businesses from Gibraltar and neighbouring La Línea de la Concepción. The members-only event is supported by World Trade Center Gibraltar and Saccone & Speed and aims to strengthen commercial relationships as the border environment evolves and the UK–EU Gibraltar Treaty arrangements approach implementation.
This members-only event aims to foster stronger collaboration and commercial relationships between businesses in Gibraltar and neighbouring La Línea de la Concepción, particularly in light of the opening of the border and the forthcoming implementation of the UK–EU Gibraltar Brexit Treaty arrangements.
As businesses on both sides of the border look toward a new phase of economic cooperation, the GFSB believes the event will provide an opportunity for small and medium sized enterprises to connect, exchange ideas and explore new opportunities to strengthen cross-border business ties.
GFSB Business Manager Kim Chang commented:
“This event marks an important step in strengthening the relationship between businesses in Gibraltar and La Línea. With the border dynamics evolving and new arrangements on the horizon, it is more important than ever for businesses on both sides of the border to connect, collaborate and explore new opportunities together. The GFSB thought it important to create a platform that encourages partnerships and mutual growth between our two business communities.”
The initiative forms part of a new cross-border networking series that the GFSB plans to host regularly. Following this inaugural gathering in Gibraltar, the next event is expected to take place in La Línea, continuing efforts to build stronger relationships between the two business communities.

Clocked out in August? Good for you. Thrive EDIT Editor David Revagliatte rounds up the Gibraltar business stories worth clocking back into. August is supposed to be the month when Gibraltar collectively eases off the accelerator. Judging by the news cycle, nobody told 2026. 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.
