October 06, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan’s IT exports to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) surged 42% to $536 million in FY2025-26 from $376 million in FY2024-25, highlighting the growing technology and digital-services ties between the two countries.

Against this backdrop, Pakistan is showcasing its artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technology capabilities at AI Everything Global 2026, a major public-private gathering bringing together more than 500 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.
