Pakistan Software Export Board is supporting the participation of Pakistani cybersecurity companies at GISEC Global 2026, a major cybersecurity event scheduled to take place in Dubai. The event brings together global cybersecurity experts, innovators and enterprises, creating an opportunity for Pakistani companies to pitch their solutions, build international partnerships and connect with potential enterprise clients operating across the Gulf Cooperation Council region.
To make participation more accessible, PSEB is offering a 60 percent subsidy on participation costs for eligible exhibitors. Alongside the financial support, selected companies will receive a dedicated 1.5 square meter exhibitor pod within the Pakistan Pavilion, giving them a defined presence at the event. Participants will also have access to a shared networking lounge designed for business to business meetings, along with marketing support intended to help companies present their offerings effectively to potential clients and partners attending the event.
For Pakistani cybersecurity firms, GISEC Global 2026 represents an opportunity to engage directly with enterprise buyers and investors seeking new solutions in a market where demand for digital security continues to grow. The event is expected to draw a wide range of companies and decision makers looking to establish partnerships, secure high value contracts and build a lasting presence in the United Arab Emirates and the broader GCC market. Participation in platforms of this scale allows smaller Pakistani firms to gain visibility alongside more established international players, creating openings that could lead to long term business relationships.
Companies interested in applying have been given until August 28, 2026 to submit their applications. As part of the process, eligible companies must submit their application along with a pay order in favor of Pakistan Software Export Board. The requirement is consistent with the documentation process PSEB has applied to other recent international participation programs, reflecting a structured approach to selecting and supporting exhibitors.
By subsidizing participation and providing dedicated exhibition space, PSEB continues its effort to help Pakistani technology companies establish themselves as one of the leading contributors to the region’s growing cybersecurity and digital economy landscape. The initiative forms part of a broader pattern of PSEB backed international exposure programs aimed at helping local companies secure contracts, attract investment and expand their presence in high value overseas markets. Companies interested in applying can access the application portal before the August 28 deadline.
