Pakistan Software Export Board is facilitating the participation of eligible Pakistani IT and AI companies at AI Everything Global 2026, one of the region’s key platforms for artificial intelligence innovation, enterprise solutions and strategic investment, set to take place in Abu Dhabi. The initiative is designed to open new pathways for Pakistani technology firms seeking to expand their footprint in the Gulf Cooperation Council digital economy, an increasingly active market for AI-driven solutions and digital infrastructure investment.
Through this platform, Pakistani AI and technology companies will have the opportunity to meet enterprise buyers, investors and digital authorities who are actively seeking new solutions across generative AI, automation, predictive analytics, hardware and data centre infrastructure. The event is positioned as a meeting point for companies and decision makers working across multiple layers of the AI value chain, from software and algorithm development to the physical infrastructure that supports large scale deployment. For Pakistani firms, the exposure offers a chance to showcase their capabilities alongside international competitors while building relationships that could translate into long term contracts and partnerships.
To reduce the financial barrier typically associated with international exhibitions, PSEB is offering a 60 percent subsidy on participation costs for eligible exhibitors. This support is intended to make it more feasible for small and medium sized Pakistani technology companies to access high value international platforms that might otherwise be out of reach due to cost constraints. The subsidy reflects a broader pattern in PSEB’s recent initiatives, which have consistently focused on lowering the cost of entry for local companies looking to establish or expand their presence in international markets, including similar efforts tied to European trade events.
Companies that view AI as a core part of their business and are ready to build an international pipeline are being encouraged to apply before the deadline. Applications for the program are open until September 5, 2026, and interested companies can submit their applications through the designated portal. The initiative is expected to draw interest from a range of technology companies working in artificial intelligence, automation and related fields, many of which have been expanding their service offerings to align with growing global demand for AI-enabled solutions.
By supporting participation at events such as AI Everything Global 2026, PSEB continues its effort to position Pakistani technology companies as one of the leading contributors to the region’s growing AI and digital economy. The initiative also reflects a wider strategy of using subsidized international exposure to help local companies secure enterprise contracts, attract investment and strengthen their standing among global buyers and partners. Companies interested in applying can access the application portal before the September deadline.
