Last year’s inaugural GIBLDN Business Conference packed around 400 people into London’s Oxo Tower, with the majority of guests coming from the UK. Sponsors and ticket sales funded the event, while Gibraltar businesses gained a platform in front of professionals, investors and entrepreneurs interested in the jurisdiction.

This autumn, HM Government of Gibraltar is taking that idea further with GibLink, an international business roadshow designed to put Gibraltar directly in front of audiences in Spain and the UK.

Three dates are now taking shape:

Marbella | Thursday 17 September | The Pool
The programme will include on-stage conversations with Sam Buxton of Damex, Minister for Business Gemma Arias-Vasquez and Christian Rasmusson around Marbella 2.0, alongside roundtables covering property, tax and technology.

Manchester | Wednesday 30 September | The Dome
Gibraltar heads north for its first Manchester event, aimed at building awareness of the jurisdiction among businesses, advisers and intermediaries in the North of England. Sponsors attending will also have an opportunity to make a short pitch on stage.

London | Tuesday 20 October
The flagship GibLink London Business Conference builds directly on last year’s GIBLDN format and its full-house debut.

The wider GibLink initiative was first announced by the Ministry of Business this summer as a coordinated platform for Gibraltar businesses to engage with entrepreneurs, investors, high-net-worth individuals and skilled professionals internationally.

Get your business on the road

Sponsorship is available at each event, with packages designed to give Gibraltar businesses both visibility and access to the audiences being assembled.

Sponsors receive guaranteed ticket allocations for themselves and guests, alongside brand recognition.

There are also opportunities built around participation. Manchester sponsors will have a spot on stage, while businesses sponsoring Marbella can be nominated for participation in the event’s roundtable discussions.

Businesses interested in more than one event can sponsor across the roadshow, with the relevant package cost applying separately to each location.

A bigger shop window

The opportunity here goes beyond having a logo on an event backdrop.

GIBLDN demonstrated the value of getting Gibraltar businesses into a room with an international audience. The next step is widening that audience geographically.

Marbella offers access to a neighbouring market with deep connections to Gibraltar and considerable crossover in property, private wealth and technology. Manchester introduces Gibraltar to a major UK commercial centre that has received considerably less attention from the jurisdiction than London. The October flagship then returns to a market where last year’s appetite was already clear.

For local businesses looking to build contacts outside Gibraltar, attract clients or strengthen their international visibility, GibLink provides a ready-made platform around the wider Gibraltar proposition.

The speakers and final sponsor line-ups are currently being completed ahead of individual event announcements. Businesses interested in sponsorship can contact the Ministry of Business at business.support@gibraltar.gov.gi.
