Pakistan Software Houses Association has announced the guests of honor for its upcoming HBL PASHA CXO Meetup in Lahore, confirming the attendance of senior figures from Pakistan’s technology policy and funding institutions. The lineup includes William Campbell, a Foreign Service Officer with the United States Department of State, Faisal Jeddy, Chief Executive Officer of Pakistan Software Export Board, and Muhammad Bilal Abbasi, Chief Executive Officer of Ignite National Technology Fund.
The confirmed attendance of Faisal Jeddy and Muhammad Bilal Abbasi brings leadership from two of Pakistan’s key public sector technology institutions into direct engagement with the private sector executives expected to attend the Lahore meetup. Pakistan Software Export Board plays a central role in supporting the country’s software export sector, while Ignite National Technology Fund has been involved in funding technology research, startup incubation, and skills development programs across Pakistan’s innovation ecosystem. Their participation adds a policy and public funding dimension to an event otherwise centered on networking among industry CXOs.
The inclusion of William Campbell from the United States Department of State reflects continued diplomatic engagement with Pakistan’s technology sector, an area that has seen growing interest from international stakeholders as the country’s IT exports and digital economy initiatives expand. His presence alongside PASHA’s Central Executive Committee members and senior domestic technology officials points to the meetup’s role as a venue connecting private industry, government bodies, and international partners under one setting.
The event, organized in partnership with HBL and held under the banner of Tech Destination Pakistan, continues PASHA’s series of regional CXO meetups aimed at strengthening engagement between its national leadership, government institutions, and the broader technology community. With senior representatives from Pakistan Software Export Board and Ignite National Technology Fund now confirmed to attend, the Lahore meetup is positioned to offer attendees direct access to leaders shaping both the funding and export dimensions of the country’s technology sector.
