The UK Trade Partnerships Conference will bring together a wealth of senior business and corporate executives from across a broad spectrum of technology and digital business sectors.
Alongside governmental departments, ministries and senior Trade Ministers, attendants will focus on senior business collaborative opportunities between Pakistan and the UK.
Pakistan presents a dynamic marketplace with one of the fastest growing digital technology sectors in the region. Year on year Pakistan’s IT industry has seen a growth of more than 20% over the last decade. Added to which, Pakistan’s GDP is expected to increase to 5.1% in 2017 and offers a natural corridor to the Asian marketplace.
The UK Trade Partnerships Conference will showcase current industry relationships with Pakistan and explore the potential of further outsourcing and collaboration in the Pakistan digital technology sector. This high profile event will identify and highlight market opportunities especially with future post-Brexit free trade initiatives and support the creation of networks between policy makers, thought leaders and key entrepreneurs from Pakistan.
This event will be attended by delegates from Pakistan and the UK including
Rt Hon Greg Hands MP, Minister of State for Trade & Investment, United Kingdom and Anusha Rahman, Minister of IT & Telecommunications, Pakistan.
