OPEN Global is the world’s leading network for entrepreneurs, connecting professionals from all walks of life across the globe.

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).
