Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), working in collaboration with Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), has opened applications for participation in the Pakistan Pavilion at the upcoming Singapore FinTech Festival 2025. Recognized as the world’s largest FinTech event, the festival will be held from 12–14 November 2025 at the Singapore EXPO, providing Pakistani IT and ITeS companies with a platform to connect with global leaders, investors, and innovators in the financial technology ecosystem.
PSEB has announced that five companies from Pakistan specializing in FinTech sub-domains will be selected to exhibit at the event. To encourage participation and support local firms in accessing international markets, PSEB and TDAP are offering a 60% subsidy on the participation cost. With this subsidy, the cost for each company is set at PKR 570,000, making it more feasible for emerging and established FinTech players to showcase their solutions at a global stage. Interested companies can apply online through the TDAP portal, with the application deadline fixed for Saturday, August 30, 2025.
The initiative is part of ongoing efforts by the Ministry of IT and Telecom to strengthen Pakistan’s presence in international technology exhibitions and highlight the country’s growing potential in IT exports. Participation in such global platforms not only positions Pakistani companies among top-tier competitors but also provides opportunities for networking, investment, and collaboration with international stakeholders. Events like the Singapore FinTech Festival are particularly valuable, as they attract a wide audience ranging from global financial institutions and venture capitalists to policymakers and industry experts.
For Pakistan’s IT and ITeS sector, which has been expanding rapidly over the past few years, representation at global stages has become a key driver of growth and recognition. By bringing together selected FinTech companies under one pavilion, PSEB and TDAP aim to present a unified image of Pakistan’s capabilities in digital finance and related services. Companies that participate will not only benefit from exposure but also from the credibility of being endorsed by government-backed institutions, a factor that strengthens their profile in competitive international markets.
Applications for participation are currently open, and interested firms can submit their details through the official TDAP portal at https://tdap.gov.pk/mis/. With only a limited number of slots available, the opportunity provides significant value for companies ready to expand their footprint beyond domestic borders and engage with the global FinTech community.
