Pakistan Software Export Board hosted a Business-to-Business Opportunities, Investment and Trade Roundtable on the sidelines of London Tech Week 2026, bringing together influential Pakistani and United Kingdom business leaders, investors, and technology companies to open new channels for collaboration, investment, and bilateral market expansion. The session was held as part of Pakistan’s coordinated presence at London Tech Week, backed by the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, the Special Investment Facilitation Council, the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan, and the Pakistan High Commission in the United Kingdom.
Bilal Bin Saqib MBE, Chief Executive Officer of the Pakistan Crypto Council and Chief Advisor to the Finance Minister, attended the roundtable as Chief Guest, lending a high-level policy perspective to a session that explored the intersection of technology trade, investment facilitation, and cross-border market expansion. His presence reinforced the message that Pakistan’s engagement with the United Kingdom technology sector extends beyond conventional software services into emerging areas including digital assets, financial technology, and the policy frameworks that govern the next generation of digital economy infrastructure.
The session brought together representatives from a cross-section of Pakistan’s technology ecosystem. Participating companies included Systems Limited, Zeromatics, TMC (TallyMarks Consulting), Softech Business Services Limited, Digital Conversions Media, APP IN SNAP Private Limited, Indus Valley Labs Limited, and International Office Products, covering capabilities spanning enterprise software, digital marketing, consulting, business process outsourcing, and product development. The diversity of the participating firms reflected the breadth of Pakistan’s technology sector, signalling to United Kingdom investors and potential partners that the country’s IT industry is not a single-service proposition but a multi-disciplinary ecosystem capable of addressing a wide range of enterprise and institutional needs.
The roundtable formed part of a broader pattern of high-level engagement during London Tech Week 2026, which also saw the PASHA delegation meet with London Deputy Mayor Howard Dawber OBE on Day 1 and the PASHA-British Council Memorandum of Understanding signing under Team Europe’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training Sector Support Programme. Together these engagements reflect a coordinated and multi-institutional effort to deepen the technology trade and investment relationship between Pakistan and the United Kingdom at a time when Pakistan’s IT export sector is approaching the $4 billion annual mark and actively seeking to diversify its geographic client base beyond North America.
