KARACHI: Majlis-e-Pakistan, a Pakistani technology professionals’ community based in Saudi Arabia, hosted a networking event, “Pakistan Tech Meetup”, in Riyadh to support Pakistani IT companies and startups seeking to establish and expand their businesses in the Kingdom.
The event brought together Pakistani technology professionals, investors, entrepreneurs and startup founders based in Saudi Arabia, who offered partnership, collaboration and investment opportunities to Pakistani IT companies and startups participating in the fifth edition of LEAP 2026.
Patron-in-Chief of Majlis-e-Pakistan Saqib Zubair said the Pakistani technology and business community in Saudi Arabia was committed to providing strategic support to Pakistani IT companies and startups in establishing operations, accessing financing and raising funds, with the shared objective of contributing to Pakistan’s economic growth.
He said the Pakistan-Saudi business community would extend its support to Pakistani delegates participating in LEAP 2026 to help them explore emerging business and investment opportunities across different sectors of the Saudi economy.
“This mutual cooperation can help expand trade and business ties between the two brotherly countries across multiple sectors,” he added.
Saad Shah, an IT exporter and CEO of Hexalyze, said Pakistani technology companies had significant opportunities to expand their offshore operations in the rapidly growing GCC market, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where Vision 2030 was creating new avenues for technology, business and investment.
He said Pakistani IT companies and startups could benefit from partnerships and collaborations with established Pakistani businesses operating in Saudi Arabia, enabling them to expand their presence in the Kingdom more efficiently and avoid unnecessary costs and challenges associated with entering an unfamiliar market.
On the occasion, Chairman Pakistan IT Association (P@SHA) Sajjad Syed said the growing number of Pakistani IT companies and startups establishing subsidiaries and offshore offices in Saudi Arabia was a positive development for Pakistan’s technology industry and its export growth.
He said a significant number of Pakistani nationals were working as technology professionals in Saudi Arabia, reflecting Pakistan’s growing presence and contribution to the Kingdom’s emerging digital economy.
Sajjad Syed stressed the need for stronger institutional and business linkages between Pakistan’s IT industry and the Pakistani technology community in Saudi Arabia to create opportunities for collaboration and achieve mutually beneficial business objectives.
More than 50 IT companies participated in the Pakistan Tech Meetup, held on the sidelines of LEAP 2026. The event featured addresses by business leaders and panel discussions focusing on business, investment and technology opportunities in Saudi Arabia. The meetup provided a platform for Pakistani IT companies, investors, entrepreneurs and technology professionals to connect, explore partnerships and develop potential business opportunities in the Kingdom.
