PAKISTAN

Fact-Finding Mission to Karachi & Lahore The Land of Opportunities.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM

Business Mission to Pakistan The mission is designed to provide Swiss companies with a thorough overview of the business landscape and potential of the country and to engage in match-making.

Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) is pleased to share with you information about the proposed fact finding mission to Pakistan.

The primary goal is to get you face-to-face with potential customers and partners. As such there will be general activities for the entire group, as well as individual activities, geared towards your specific industry and interests. Attached please find the first draft of the proposed itinerary, where company-specific activities have been marked as “B2B Meetings�. If, for example, your company is at home in the railroad industry, we will put you in touch with potential customers and partners for this sector, including the ministry of rail and/or other relevant stakeholders and decision makers. You will be accompanied by local representatives of our partner organization for the entire duration of your stay in Pakistan, who will be responsible for supporting and guiding you, as well as your personal safety.

Preparation In order to tailor the trip according to your needs as much as possible, we request that you send us a brief overview of specific areas of interest, as well as a profile of an ideal partner and/or customer, if you are looking for such. A few bullet points will suffice. We will use this information to line up individual meetings/visits for you as much as possible.

We will be holding a pre-event briefing with all participants in early November in Zurich. Should you have any questions at any time, please do contact the undersigned.

We look forward to receiving your confirmed interest in participating in this fact finding mission by September 18th, 2015.

Based on your response we will then send you a formal S-GE offer.

We will be delighted to be your host and guide for this fact finding mission and look forward to your participation.
