TDAP Pharma B2B Match Making: How Pakistani Manufacturers Can Meet Verified Global Buyers

Quick answer: The TDAP B2B Match Making Programme is a facilitation service on the Pakistan Pharma Trade Portal. It connects Pakistani pharmaceutical manufacturers with qualified international buyers, distributors and importers. According to the portal, companies must be registered with TDAP and hold valid DRAP licences to apply.

🤝 What is TDAP B2B Match Making?

B2B means business-to-business. In this programme, TDAP uses its network of 60+ commercial attachés in embassies worldwide to identify and verify buyer interest. It then arranges structured meetings in three ways, as the portal describes:

  • 🎪 At trade fairs abroad
  • 🇵🇰 At dedicated B2B events in Pakistan
  • 💻 Through virtual platforms

It is one of several services on the portal. For a full overview, read our post on the Pakistan Pharma Trade Portal.

Applications are reviewed based on export capability, product range and target markets. If you are still setting up your business, see our guides on company registration with SECP and the FBR IRIS login.
