Mr. Abu Bakar, the CEO of PSEB, has become a prominent figure at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2025, as Pakistan takes center stage in global digital discussions. As the first country to adopt the Digital Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Initiative by the World Economic Forum and the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), Pakistan is positioning itself as a key player in the global digital economy.
Mr. Bakar is using this esteemed platform to highlight Pakistan’s digital potential, showcasing the country’s growing role in the global digital landscape. His leadership at PSEB, combined with the country’s strategic initiatives, has created a strong narrative around Pakistan as an emerging hub for digital innovation and investment. During the WEF week, Mr. Bakar will be presenting groundbreaking initiatives such as the Digital Nation Pakistan Act and the ongoing efforts to make Islamabad a global hub for digital economic dialogue.
The Digital Nation Pakistan Act, one of the most significant steps towards advancing the country’s digital infrastructure, has attracted attention internationally. The Act aims to provide a legal framework for the development of digital ecosystems in Pakistan, focusing on regulatory support, innovation, and investment. Mr. Bakar’s role in pushing these reforms is pivotal, as they form the backbone of Pakistan’s efforts to foster cross-border investments in the digital space.
In addition to the Digital Nation Pakistan Act, Mr. Bakar will also be promoting Pakistan’s annual Digital FDI Forum, an event dedicated to attracting global investments into the country’s digital sector. The forum has rapidly gained recognition as a premier platform for networking and discussing the future of digital transformation, both regionally and globally. It plays a critical role in positioning Pakistan as an attractive investment destination for digital companies and innovators.
Pakistan’s commitment to the digital economy is further evidenced by initiatives that aim to integrate the country’s growing tech and digital landscape into the global economy. By fostering relationships with international stakeholders and championing digital growth, Mr. Bakar and PSEB are driving the narrative of Pakistan’s digital transformation.
With a focus on innovation and investment, Mr. Bakar’s participation at WEF is a key moment in Pakistan’s digital journey.
