Karachi just hosted ITCN Asia 2025, and instead of the usual dry tech fair vibes, it felt like stepping into a mash-up of Silicon Valley ambition and local startup hustle.

Picture AI that overlays onto NASA maps, VR headsets dropping you into surreal new worlds, and fintech founders arguing over who’s reinventing money the fastest. It was almost too much to keep up with.

Beyond the spectacle, the event showed how Pakistan’s IT and telecom industry is evolving, from homegrown startups trying to scale to the global stage to big names scouting fresh opportunities in the region.

It wasn’t just about gadgets on display with the 300+ global brands making their appearances, but about where Pakistan sits in the tech race, and where we're headed next.
