GFSB Does AI
We have launched a new AI-powered agent/chatbot on our website which allows members and prospective members to access timely and accurate information about the organisation’s services, membership options and policy work.
The bespoke AI agent was designed and developed in just 48 hours by a local second-year undergraduate Artificial Intelligence student during her summer break. The chatbot is now live at www.gfsb.gi and forms part of the Federation’s wider commitment to exploring new technology and improving the experience of its members.
“Small businesses are constantly adapting to new technology, and we want to lead by example,” said Kim Chang, GFSB’s Business Manager. “The AI agent gives users instant access to helpful information about the GFSB, whether they’re considering joining or just want to learn more about what we do.”
The new tool is part of the GFSB’s broader focus on innovation, aimed at delivering better value for members and supporting the evolving needs of Gibraltar’s business community.
We’re all about sharing our knowledge so watch this space – we’re planning some new AI workshops in the coming weeks.

Growing Beyond the Owner
For many SMEs, the success of the business has been built on the expertise, relationships and commitment of its owner. This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses. However, as organisations develop, dependence on a single individual can become a strategic risk.

Freight Delays Bite
Imports including medicines, fresh produce and other commercial goods faced significant delays as businesses and Customs adjusted to the Treaty’s new frontier procedures, with some freight reportedly held since the arrangements began on 15 July. The disruption is the clearest early warning that documentation errors and unfamiliar processes can quickly affect stock availability, perishable goods and operating costs across Gibraltar’s retail and wholesale sectors.
Thrive
Level Up This Summer
For many, summer offers something that's in short supply during the rest of the year: space. Space to learn, think differently, meet new people and recharge before the final push towards year-end. If you're looking to make the most of the season, here are three ways to return in September with fresh ideas, renewed energy and a few new connections.
Brexit
What a Week!
Over the past two years, I must have written more words about the Treaty than almost any other subject. Through the Thrive EDIT, I've tried to cut through the politics and focus on what really matters to Gibraltar's business community. We've unpacked customs guidance, explained residency proposals, questioned support measures, covered Government announcements, highlighted members' concerns and, where necessary, asked awkward questions on your behalf. The aim has always been the same: to make one of the biggest economic changes in Gibraltar's history feel just a little easier to understand.
Advocacy
Events
Representing your interests
At the GFSB, we believe membership should deliver real value. That means more than simply representing businesses around the table. It means creating opportunities to learn, connect and grow. Since September 2025, we've delivered 34 events attended by 1,329 members and guests, with the vast majority offered free of charge as part of GFSB membership. Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, grow your network or stay ahead of the issues shaping Gibraltar's business landscape, our events are designed to make doing business that little bit easier.
