PBN INTERNATIONAL
Was founded in 2016 in Gothenburg, Sweden by diaspora Palestinians with the idea to attract and connect talented individuals to an international business network. We have a board of 7 members and 4 founding partners.
With now present in the 3 largest cities in Sweden (Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö), the network began to expand to neighboring countries with the goal to have active groups in every capital in the EU till 2025. Today PBN got over 2000 members spread mostly in Sweden and Denmark with 55% female members.
During monthly meetups the participant members who are of Palestinian background or share the values of the network exchange knowledge and experience with each other. It is two-hour sessions where they learn to know and work together meanwhile participating in presentations, seminars, and workshops, among other educational activities.
Our mission is to strengthen the Palestinian identity in the societies we live in by creating success stories with different activities where networking, knowledge-sharing, integrational projects, and awareness of democratic values and gender equality.
- Mission 2025 - our goal is to have a chapter in every European capital by the end of 2025 all connected with each other.
- Enjoy Palestine - a digital marketplace where you can find and buy from Palestinian micro-producers and travel packages to explore ancient Palestine and its diversity with a European warehouse to effectively manage logistics and commercial activities.
- The international Palestinian Scouts - Together with the Swedish scouts creating a non-political nor religious scouts organization that support integration, inclusion, and equality from early ages building a global network of "always-ready" teams dressed by micro suits factories in the refgugee camps in Lebanon.
