Empowering Leaders

Igniting London’s Entrepreneurial Spirit

OPEN London CIC is the London Chapter of OPEN Global

A premier, global, non-profit fostering entrepreneurship with over 15 chapters worldwide across UK, North America, Middle East and Pakistan.

The aim of OPEN London CIC is to provide a unique opportunity to deepen connections, explore collaborative ventures and foster greater business and investment links across London/ U.K. and the US under the Mayor of London’s “Transatlantic Initiative (TAI).” The TAI was a joint US-UK Government project in 2008-2009 to develop a long-term network of American Pakistani and British Pakistani community leaders to serve as a catalyst to foster business growth, integration and civic engagement among current and future generations and supported by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who was the sponsoring Minister at the time. OPEN London CIC delivers a series of initiatives under the Mayor of London’s Transatlantic Initiative (TAI).

President's Message

It is a pleasure and a privilege to lead OPEN London CIC as the Chair & President. OPEN London CIC is the London Chapter of OPEN Global, an organization that unites a dynamic network of accomplished entrepreneurs and professionals from around the world. With over 15 chapters worldwide across the U.K., North America, Middle East and Pakistan to achieve global collaboration.

Leading OPEN London CIC, a non-profit, mission-driven organization, requires a deep commitment to servant leadership. It is both a privilege and a responsibility to give back to the community while being part of a global ecosystem that fosters entrepreneurship and professional development. I am truly fortunate to collaborate with a dedicated team of board members who volunteer their time, expertise, and resources to drive success for our members. As a 100% volunteer-driven organization, we share a common goal: to connect our members, create meaningful opportunities, and celebrate the success stories that emerge from our vibrant global network.

We work to deliver a series of initiatives under the Mayor of London’s “Transatlantic Initiative (TAI)” to foster greater collaboration, business and investment links across London/ UK and the US, culminating in the annual flagship OPEN Silicon Valley Annual Forum bringing together the top technology leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs and investors from around the globe.
