CW Pakistan is proud to partner with SOFTEC’25, Pakistan’s largest student-run tech event, set to take place at FAST NUCES Lahore from April 25 to 27. This premier gathering will bring together industry leaders, tech enthusiasts, and aspiring innovators for an immersive experience in artificial intelligence, software development, cybersecurity, and other emerging technologies. With a diverse lineup of expert speaker sessions, hands-on workshops, and intense competitions, SOFTEC’25 is designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry while fostering meaningful connections in Pakistan’s tech ecosystem.
Building on the success of previous editions, SOFTEC’25 promises an even more enriching experience.

Other notable speakers, including Muhammad Kashif, co-founder and managing director of Soliton Technologies, contributed to discussions that inspired both students and professionals to navigate the evolving digital landscape.
A major highlight of SOFTEC’25 will be its Software House Enclosure, where top tech firms will showcase their latest innovations. This interactive space provides students with a valuable opportunity to engage directly with industry professionals, explore career pathways, and witness real-world applications of groundbreaking technologies. Whether through networking with corporate leaders or interacting with startup founders, attendees will gain firsthand exposure to cutting-edge advancements shaping the future.
Adding even more value to this year’s event, SOFTEC’25 will introduce a dedicated business conference featuring panel talks with industry experts. These sessions will delve into crucial topics such as the future of AI, advancements in software development, and the role of cybersecurity in the digital era. These discussions will provide students with deeper insights into industry trends, career pathways, and the skills required to thrive in an increasingly tech-driven world. Moreover, SOFTEC’25 will also host on-site interviews with leading tech companies, offering students a rare opportunity to secure internships and job placements during the event itself. This initiative will not only benefit aspiring tech professionals but also help bridge the gap between academia and industry by facilitating direct engagement with potential employers.
Competitions remain a core feature of SOFTEC’25, offering students the chance to showcase their technical prowess across multiple domains, including AI-based solutions, software development, game design, and cybersecurity. These contests challenge participants to push their creative and analytical limits while emphasizing teamwork, problem-solving, and innovation. Alongside these competitions, expert-led panel discussions and technical workshops will equip students with industry-relevant skills, enhancing their ability to tackle real-world challenges.
SOFTEC’25’s commitment to fostering collaboration between academia and industry is evident through its partnerships with top-tier tech firms, startups, and educational institutions. By bringing together thought leaders, innovators, and students, the event ensures that participants gain valuable insights into industry trends, emerging opportunities, and technological breakthroughs.
