In The Skylightwe welcome Usman Khalid, founder and CEO of Support Muslim Business Forum (SMBF), visiting Paris to launch the French branch of its network. A general practitioner and emergency physician, but also an entrepreneur at the head of several companies in the fields of health, tech and marketing, Usman Khalid embodies a new generation of economic actors combining faith, efficiency and commitment.

Last Friday, October 3, around thirty business leaders from various sectors — tech, construction, retail, services — gathered in Paris for an exclusive event during which the founder of the SMBF presented his development strategy across Europe. Created in the United Kingdom, the SMBF has established itself as a strong international network of more than 5,000 companies around the world, notably in the United Kingdom, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Malaysia. With the launch of its French branch, the objective is clear: to create a business ecosystem based on trust, solidarity and collaboration, while connecting talents and opportunities within the European Muslim entrepreneurial community.
