The Asia Pacific ICT Awards (APICTA) is an international Awards Program to provide a platform for innovators and entrepreneurs in the ICT sectors in the region to benchmark their products and to broaden their network.
This year Team Pakistan, represented by 30 strong delegation and 19 companies, presented 21 products from Pakistan at APICTA on 30th November, 2014 at Jakarta.
Pakistan has been participating in APICTA for the past 11 years to capital across Asia Pacific. Every year Team Pakistan has held their heads high at the effort and the performance of tech innovators from Pakistan. Over the years, even judges across the region have started noticing the immense potential from a country which has not been known as a tech innovation hub.
The two months of non-stop judging, pitching, mentoring and going back to the drawing boards; it all came together at APICTA Awards 2014, Jakarta, Indonesia. Team Pakistan was able to score 2 Gold & 3 Silver ICT Awards at APICTA Awards 2014 in the following categories.
