The PASHA delegation at London Tech Week 2026 has completed a strong opening day, with CEC Member Usman Akbar and Director Brand and Global Outreach Kheezran Khan representing Pakistan’s information technology industry at one of the world’s leading technology gatherings held in London from June 8 to 12, 2026. The delegation engaged in meaningful networking sessions, high-level interactions, and ecosystem discussions across the event, using the platform to build international visibility for Pakistan’s technology sector and create new channels for business development, investment, and bilateral collaboration.
A key highlight of Day 1 was a meeting with Howard Dawber OBE, Deputy Mayor of London, focused on innovation, collaboration, and strengthening international technology connections between Pakistan and the United Kingdom. The engagement with London’s Deputy Mayor carries particular significance given the city’s status as one of Europe’s most active technology and investment hubs, and the discussion around deepening bilateral tech ties reflects a growing appetite on both sides for structured, institution-level engagement that goes beyond individual business transactions. For PASHA, securing a meeting at this level on the very first day of London Tech Week underscores the seriousness with which Pakistan’s technology industry is approaching its international market development activities.
The delegation is backed by an extensive coalition of institutional partners including HBL, Pakistan Software Export Board, the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, the Special Investment Facilitation Council, the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan, the Pakistan High Commission in the United Kingdom, and event partner Eventage. Participating companies from Pakistan’s technology sector accompanying the delegation include Abendsoft, ACME ONE, Code Graphers, CodeJunkie, Devinsta, Digital Trucking BPO, Diya Interactive, H3 Technologies, HazelSoft, Ibtidah Solutions, iOPTIME, Maison Consulting and Solutions, Meissasoft, Mosaic Solutions, Naturetech, Sybrid Private Limited, Tech Bridge Consultancy, Zawata Afnan Technologies, and Zupax Marketing, representing a cross-section of Pakistan’s software development, business process outsourcing, consulting, and digital marketing capabilities.
PASHA has indicated that further highlights from Day 2 and subsequent days at London Tech Week 2026 will be shared as the delegation continues its activities across the five-day event. The London Tech Week engagement builds on a sustained effort by PASHA under the Tech Destination Pakistan framework to position Pakistan’s information technology industry as a credible, capable, and globally competitive partner for technology businesses and investors across the United Kingdom and Europe.
