Pakistan Pavilion Debuts at Expand North Star 2025, Showcases Tech & Startups

In a proud display of national innovation, Pakistan has officially opened its Pakistan Pavilion at Expand North Star 2025, the premier technology expo held in Dubai Harbour. The pavilion, an extension of GITEX 2025, aims to spotlight Pakistani tech talent, startups, and emerging digital capabilities on a global stage.

What the Pakistan Pavilion Brings to the Table

The pavilion features cutting-edge demos from local startups, panel discussions about cross-border collaboration, and showcases of homegrown tech in areas like fintech, blockchain, AI, and e-commerce. Officials say the goal is to bridge Pakistani innovators with international investors and partners.

A key highlight is live pitch sessions from Pakistani founders to global venture capitalists and tech executives. These sessions can help accelerate funding, partnerships, and market entry opportunities for Pakistani startups aiming for global expansion.

Strategic Impacts & National Significance

Pakistani tech’s presence at a marquee global event signals increased confidence in local digital infrastructure and startup capability. It presents an opportunity for Pakistan to rebrand itself as not just a consumer market, but a technology originator.

By placing itself in the middle of Expand’s global audience, Pakistan aims to attract foreign investment, talent exchange, and collaborative R&D. The pavilion also facilitates two-way knowledge transfer, enabling local entrepreneurs to learn from mature ecosystems.

Expand North Star 2025 is poised to be one of the most significant global tech gatherings of the year. Scheduled for October 12–15 at Dubai Harbour, it will bring together over 1,800 startups, more than 1,000 investors, and representatives from 100+ countries.

As the world’s largest startup-investor connector event, it is co-hosted by the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy and organized by DWTC. It is designed to accelerate innovation, capital flow, and cross-border tech partnerships.
