One Business Season and Asian Business Forum Join Forces for an Extended Global Business Season
Dubai, UAE — One Business Season (OBS) and the Asian Business Forum (ABF) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at creating a new, extended platform for international business networking, investment, collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Rather than following the traditional format of a short business conference, the initiative is built around a 100-day business season, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, policymakers, academics and industry professionals through a combination of physical and virtual engagements.
A 100-Day Business Platform
The One Business Season summit is scheduled to run from 15 October 2026 to 22 January 2027, providing participants with opportunities to connect and engage over an extended period.
The organizers say the longer format is designed to allow business relationships to develop beyond particular meetings or conference sessions, with participants having more time for discussions, networking and potential cross-border collaboration.
Partnership with the Asian Business Forum
Through its collaboration with the Asian Business Forum, One Business Season aims to strengthen connections between businesses and professional networks across Asia and other international markets.
The partnership focuses on areas including:
- International business networking
- Investment and business opportunities
- Cross-border partnerships
- Knowledge and experience sharing
- Entrepreneurial collaboration
- Connections between industry and business leaders
Global Participation
The program is expected to involve participants from different regions and industries, with both in-person and virtual activities forming part of the wider business season.
The initiative places particular emphasis on connecting businesses across Asia and international markets, creating opportunities for participants to continue conversations and explore potential partnerships throughout the 100-day period.
Why the Extended Format Matters
The concept behind One Business Season is based on the idea that business relationships can take time to develop. Instead of concentrating networking and discussions into a few days, the organizers are creating a longer platform where participants can reconnect, continue conversations and explore opportunities over several months.
The approach reflects a broader shift toward business events that combine conferences, networking, digital engagement and ongoing professional interaction.
