The Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui will inaugurate the 19th ITCN Asia, to be taken place in Karachi from September 17-19. The exhibition will be spread out over 6 halls at the Karachi Expo Centre with over 550 local and 250 international companies from 23+ countries expected to set up their stalls. Over 55,000 visitors are expected to visit ITCN Asia during its 3 days run.
Concurrently there will be a major conference on each day, namely AI Summit, IT Minister's Forum for Youth, Innovation, Industry & Ease of Doing Business and Cyber Security Conference. Additionally there will be several breakout sessions and opportunities for B2B meetings to be set up by industry players during the 3 days.
ITCN Asia, launched in 2001 is now being organized for the 19th consecutive year, and has grown to become the biggest IT & Telecom event in Pakistan. Besides local companies, some of the biggest global brands will showcase their state-of-the-art products and services, allowing the user community to get exposure to a wide range of technology and solutions under one roof.
Speaking about the event, Ecommerce Gateway Pakistan vice president Umair Nizam said there is substantial potential for Pakistan to exponentially develop the IT sector and even make it the biggest foreign exchange earner for Pakistan in coming years, besides creating employment for a million or more people, even within the next 3 years.
Most importantly, it would provide an opportunity for B2B alliances, leveraging their mutual strengths. ITCN Asia Exhibitions & Conferences, organized by the country's biggest exhibitions organizer, Ecommerce Gateway Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd., has been playing a pivotal role in land-marking the image of Pakistan on the world IT map, bringing in huge foreign and local investments into the country, he added.
