Pakistan’s largest tech conference and expo, ‘Future Fest’, will take place at Expo Lahore from 6-8 January, 2023 said a statement from the Digital Cooperation Organisation (DCO) and Invest Saudi.
This year, the conference is hosting a historic delegation of Saudi startups and venture capitalists who will meet Pakistani companies and key stakeholders to explore investments, partnerships, acquisitions and talent recruitment.
“The Saudi tech ecosystem is growing very fast. In Pakistan, we have the talent and startups that can support this growth. At Future Fest, we are proud to be the catalyst for this partnership and to provide a platform for greater collaboration and growth, and indeed a new dimension to what is an already historic relationship between Pakistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Future Fest/Ejad Labs CEO, Arzish Azam.
The digital economy, powered by innovation and technology, has recently grown at an unprecedented rate and has now become the backbone of our societies, said Azam. Pakistan is a founding member state of the Digital Cooperation Organisation (DCO) and with its thought leadership, and through opportunities like enabling Future Fest, we at DCO are strengthening the already solid relationship we have with Pakistan to bring prosperity to us all,” stated Secretary-General of DCO, Deemah AlYahya.
“With over 95 million students and a high appetite for private tutoring, Pakistan is becoming a desirable hub for global EdTech companies, and we are excited to explore expansion opportunities there through our participation at Future Fest 2023,” said Khalid Abou Kassem, Founder and CEO at AlGooru, a leading EdTech startup.
