Connecting businesses, creating partnerships, unlocking opportunities.
— Our Services
What We Do
For nearly every UK firm engaging Libya, the obstacles are the same: opaque entry points, fragmented intelligence, and a shortage of trusted introductions. ALBA exists to dissolve those obstacles. We convene, advise, and advocate — quietly and where it matters.
An annual convening where decision-makers and investors explore opportunities across both markets.
A standing platform for commercial dialogue and deal-making between companies on both sides.
Recurring exhibitions with ministries, universities, and corporates from both shores of the Mediterranean.
Accredited programmes lifting capability across our priority sectors.
Specialist sector briefings and gatherings featuring experts from both countries.
Legal, financial, and sector-specific advisory for firms entering either market.
— Where We Focus
Six Priority Sectors
Libya's economy is concentrated. So is our attention. We work in the sectors where British capability and Libyan demand intersect with the highest returns for both economies.
Upstream, downstream, and energy services across Libya's hydrocarbon basin.
Roads, ports, housing, water, and reconstruction programmes.
Solar, wind, and grid modernisation in a post-hydrocarbon landscape.
Higher education, vocational programmes, and rehabilitation.
Hospital systems, medical training, and pharmaceutical supply.
Ports, customs, freight, and bilateral trade corridors.
— Statement
We are not in the business of brochures. We are in the business of introductions — the kind that shorten a quarter of someone's calendar, and the kind that change the outcome of a negotiation.
ALBA's most senior tier: chairpersons, ambassadors, investors, and board members.
The second rank of leadership: academics, businesspeople, and cooperating institutions.
For engaged, active members — students, professionals, and new joiners stepping up.
The foundational tier: general public and new associates entering the Association.
