Pakistan Crowned Best Tech Destination at GITEX Global 2024
In an exciting development, Pakistan has been hailed as the premier tech destination for 2024, just ahead of the much-anticipated GITEX Global event. This accolade underscores the rapid ascent of the country’s IT sector on the international stage.
GITEX Global, the largest tech exhibition across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, serves as a hotspot for cutting-edge innovations and AI-driven economic strategies. It’s a vital gathering for global IT experts, investors, and companies seeking to forge collaborative partnerships.
Leading the charge at GITEX Global 2024 will be the Pakistan Software Export Board and the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan, with over 80 leading firms and startups set to represent the nation. This impressive turnout highlights the dynamic and diverse nature of Pakistan’s tech ecosystem.
The country’s IT industry is on a fast track, fueled by the graduation of approximately 75,000 IT professionals each year, which bolsters a vibrant freelance community. As noted in the Kearney Global Location Index, Pakistan stands out as a top contender for IT outsourcing, with operational costs up to 70% lower than those in North America.
The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has been instrumental in driving Pakistan’s IT sector towards sustainable growth and innovation. With this recognition at GITEX Global 2024, Pakistan is poised to showcase its technological prowess on a global platform, paving the way for increased investment and partnerships in the tech arena.
