Endorsement: US chargé d’affairs supports Pakistani business
In support of Pakistani entrepreneurship, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Richard Hoagland and U.S. Consul General Nina Maria Fite attended the Pakistan 100 Awards & Summit yesterday evening in Lahore.
The awards ceremony and summit honors the winners of Pakistan Fast Growth 100 (Pakistan100), a ranking of the fastest growing non-listed companies in Pakistan.
During the summit, Hoagland and Fite met with some of the participants of Pakistan 100 during a discussion on entrepreneurship in Pakistan, and also distributed awards to the winners. Hoagland remarked to the media present that the solution to Pakistan’s economic challenges lies in the entrepreneurial talent of its own citizens.
The Pakistan 100 list is compiled by the Allworld Network, an initiative of three Americans, including Harvard University professor Michael Porter, to increase the profile of small, rapidly growing firms in emerging countries.
