Pakistan’s technology industry took a significant step on the global stage on March 30, 2026, as PASHA representatives presented the event timeline and key strategic plans for the ASOCIO Digital Summit 2026 at the ASOCIO Plenary Meeting held in Bangkok, Thailand. The presentation was delivered by Kheezran Khan, Director of Brand and Global Outreach at PASHA, accompanied by Dr. Shoab Khan, Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Advanced Research in Engineering and former Chairman of PASHA. The session brought together representatives from multiple ASOCIO member economies under the chairmanship of Stan Singh and the organisation’s board members, creating a high-level forum for discussing regional collaboration and digital innovation ahead of the year’s flagship summit.
The Bangkok plenary served as a critical planning milestone for the ASOCIO Digital Summit 2026, which is scheduled to be hosted in Pakistan in November of this year. Pakistan’s role as the host nation was highlighted by Sajjad Syed, Chairman of PASHA, who joined the meeting virtually to underscore the country’s commitment to delivering a world-class summit and to articulate the opportunities the event presents for strengthening regional digital partnerships across the Asia Oceania ICT Organisation’s member economies. The discussion encompassed key initiatives, strategic priorities, and actionable pathways for industry leaders from across the region to engage meaningfully in the lead-up to the November summit.
Hosting the ASOCIO Digital Summit represents one of the most prominent international technology events Pakistan has been entrusted with, and the preparations being put in motion reflect the country’s growing stature in the global information and communications technology landscape. For PASHA, securing this hosting opportunity and presenting a credible, well-structured roadmap to ASOCIO’s membership is an important signal of Pakistan’s readiness to position itself as a regional hub for digital dialogue, investment, and industry collaboration. With months still remaining before the summit, the Bangkok presentation marks the beginning of what is expected to be an active and high-visibility build-up for Pakistan’s technology sector on the international stage.
