The Tech Destination Pakistan Pavilion was inaugurated today by the High Commissioner of Pakistan to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Mohammad Faisal.
London Tech Week is a global celebration of technology, uniting the most innovative thinkers and future talent in a week-long festival.
Pakistan’s participation at London Tech Week is made possible through a collaborative effort between the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), Pakistan IT industry Association (P@SHA), and the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP).

The IT industry in Pakistan has experienced remarkable growth, with the UK consistently being the second-largest destination for IT/ITeS exports for the past two years.
This growth is supported by over 100 Software Technology Parks, a skilled workforce of 600,000 IT professionals, an annual addition of 75,000 IT graduates, and a thriving startup community.
Pakistan is rapidly emerging as a prominent global tech destination due to its abundant human resources.
