LAHORE: Saudi Arabia’s Prince Fahad bin Mansour Al Saud has announced to set up a technology house in Pakistan to enhance cooperation between the two countries in diverse technical fields, the Future Fest management said on Friday.
Pakistan’s biggest tech conference, Future Fest 2023 is a three-day event that has brought together 50,000 participants along with representatives of 500 startups and 200 exhibitors from over 30 countries. After premiering in Islamabad last year, its second edition is currently taking place in Lahore where it has been organized in collaboration with the Punjab provincial administration and information technology board.
The conference, which is scheduled to end on January 8, will feature keynote speeches and discussions by investors, innovators, thought leaders, policymakers and leading entrepreneurs.
This year’s conference is particularly important for the Saudi-Pakistan relations since it has brought a bunch of business leaders and entrepreneurs from the kingdom and other Middle East countries.
The Saudi delegation participating in the event includes senior representatives from Riyadh-based Digital Cooperation Organization and Invest Saudi, which works under the kingdom’s investment ministry.
“HRH [His Royal Highness] Prince Fahad bin Mansour Al Saud, during a virtual address to Future Fest stakeholders, announced the establishment of a dedicated Saudi-Pakistan Tech House to promote greater ease of doing business,” said the festival management in an official statement.
