Islamabad: The Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) is leading a four-city US roadshow to connect Pakistani technology companies with Fortune 1000 decision-makers, including CIOs and CTOs. Stops are Silicon Valley (16 October), Dallas (19 October), Washington, D.C. (21 October) and Chicago (23 October). The initiative reflects Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s vision of a deeper economic partnership with the United States.
The delegation includes 16 established firms, among them Systems Limited, 10Pearls, NETSOL, IBEX, Arbisoft and CureMD, plus two startups: Swich, a Web3 fintech, and Heyeve.ai, which focuses on AI-powered legal training. Their expertise spans AI, enterprise software, cloud, fintech, cybersecurity and healthcare technology.
IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja said Pakistani firms have adapted quickly to AI while staying cost-competitive with low engineer attrition. PSEB CEO Faisal Jeddy noted the US accounts for over 50% of Pakistan’s annual technology exports. Ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh said the event will help build lasting business relationships and open opportunities for trade, investment and innovation.
