The Future Leaders Award initiative is being organized alongside ITCN Asia Lahore, scheduled to take place on January 18, 2026. The awards are integrated within the broader ITCN Asia platform, which has long served as a convening space for policymakers, business leaders, technology professionals, and emerging talent across Pakistan’s technology ecosystem. Computerworld Pakistan is proud to be on board as the Technology Media Partner for the event.
Positioned as a recognition-focused partnership, the Future Leaders Award aims to acknowledge individuals and organizations contributing to the country’s technology, innovation, and digital development landscape. By aligning with ITCN Asia, the initiative is anchored within one of Pakistan’s established technology exhibitions, offering visibility among industry stakeholders, enterprises, solution providers, and the wider business community.
The award framework spans multiple leadership categories, including industry, entrepreneurship, academia, cybersecurity, and community-driven initiatives. This multi-sector approach reflects the changing dynamics of Pakistan’s digital economy, where leadership increasingly emerges across interconnected domains rather than within isolated sectors. The structure of the awards highlights collaboration between enterprises, startups, educational institutions, and security professionals, particularly in areas such as innovation, skills development, and applied research.
The 2026 edition carries the theme “Evolving Beyond Boundaries,” underscoring a focus on growth, adaptability, and leadership in an environment shaped by rapid technological change. The theme reflects the broader context in which organizations and professionals are navigating digital transformation, evolving regulatory expectations, and increasing reliance on secure digital infrastructure.
The cybersecurity category within the awards recognizes professionals contributing not only to system and data protection, but also to governance, awareness, and long-term digital trust.
Registrations for the Future Leaders Award are currently open for a limited period, with applications being accepted through the official platform at https://awards.server4sale.com.pk. Supported by ecosystem partners associated with ITCN Asia, the initiative continues to position itself as a structured platform for recognizing leadership across technology, business, education, and security, reflecting the diverse forces shaping Pakistan’s digital economy.
