Against this backdrop, Pakistan is showcasing its artificial

exhibitors and 150 investors from 70 countries, according to APP.
The Pakistan Pavilion, established under the auspices of the
Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), features five Pakistani technology
companies presenting AI-driven solutions and services, including AI Data
Intelligence, AI Surveillance, AI Sales Solutions and Sovereign AI.
The pavilion was inaugurated by Ambassador Shafqat Ali Khan,
Pakistan’s Envoy to the UAE, who interacted with participating Pakistani
companies and stressed the importance of strengthening Pakistan’s presence in
the rapidly evolving global AI landscape.
He emphasized the need to invest in AI talent development
and equip the younger generation with advanced AI, coding and digital skills to
build a future-ready workforce and improve Pakistan’s competitiveness in the
global digital economy.
Pakistan’s participation at the event is providing local
technology companies with opportunities to connect with international industry
leaders and investors, develop strategic partnerships and explore new business
and investment opportunities in the AI ecosystem.
The participation is being facilitated by the Commercial
Section of Pakistan’s Diplomatic Mission in the UAE, led by Trade &
Investment Counsellor Ali Zeb Khan, in coordination with PSEB and the Ministry
of IT and Telecom (MoIT).
Pakistani delegates are also engaging with international stakeholders on AI-driven innovation, digital transformation and potential areas of collaboration.
