Further strengthening Pakistan’s presence on the global tech stage, a significant partnership has been forged between Jazz, Pakistan’s premier digital operator, and TenX, an acclaimed global consultancy.

This collaboration aims to revolutionize data management through Enterprise Feature Store (EFS) and Predictive AI Models.

Additionally, Abacus and ELM have solidified their commitment to innovation by officially signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), laying the groundwork for future synergies.

P@SHA, in a historic move, has signed its largest MoU to date during this mega event.

The focus of this collaboration is on fostering cooperation and enhancing business-to-business engagement with the IT association of Bahrain.

Furthering the spirit of collaboration, Inbox Technologies has entered into a partnership deal with Saudi Arabia’s GISSAN, showcasing the strength of cross-border cooperation in driving technological advancement.

The CEO of PSEB Ms. Aisha Humera Moriani held pivotal meetings with high-ranking officials from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), paving the way for future collaborations.

Key discussions with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) underscored the potential for bilateral collaboration and highlighted Pakistan’s capability to meet the diverse needs of KSA’s evolving economy.

Furthermore, meetings with ELM explored collaborative possibilities in acceleration centers and future projects, while discussions with SDAIA focused on potential collaborations and partnerships in artificial intelligence.
