The event was attended by the likes of Anusha Rehman, Minister for Information Technology & Telecom and Dr. Ismail Shah, Chairman Pakistan Telecommunication Authority.
The main idea behind the festival was to highlight and celebrate a vast array of digital products and solutions that have been developed by Telenor. Many of the products shown at the Islamabad Digital Festival were the same as the ones unveiled at the Lahore Digital Festival which was held last month. The festival showcased a wide range of 3G handsets, internet devices, IoT products, mobile applications, mobile payments solutions and more. Live demos of engaging mobile applications such as Capture, WowBox and Pocket TV were also offered at the event.
