ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will host its first-ever Digital Foreign Direct Investment (Digital FDI) Forum in Islamabad on April 29-30.
The landmark event is being jointly organised by the Government of Pakistan and the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), with support from the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).
Seen as a major step forward for the country’s digital growth, the forum aims to attract global investors, promote technological innovation, and help Pakistan reach its goal of $60 billion in digital economic output by 2030.
DCO Secretary General Deemah AlYahya welcomed the announcement, calling Pakistan a promising destination for digital investment due to its young population and strategic location.
The two-day event is expected to bring together over 500 international investors, tech leaders, and experts.
Their participation highlights growing global interest in Pakistan’s digital economy, especially in sectors like Fintech, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Agritech.
More than 75 Pakistani startups will also take part, showcasing their products and ideas to a global audience.
The event offers them a unique chance to secure funding, partnerships, and international exposure.
Officials say the forum will highlight Pakistan’s key strengths—its tech-savvy youth, expanding internet use, and fast digital adoption.
The goal is not just to attract investment but also to create long-term partnerships and boost sustainable development through technology.
