The KCCI has designed 8th "MY-KARACHI, Oasis of Harmony Exhibition 2011" which would act as an avenue for interactive business-to-business (B2B) linkages and business to consumer (B2C) relationship. My-Karachi Exhibition is a showcase platform for domestic and global products and services to small traders, large industries, manufacturers, service providers, multinational companies, financial institutions and social welfare agencies of Pakistan. The KCCI started this mega exhibition in 2004, which received appreciation at both national and international level. Government of Sindh co hosts this momentous exhibition every year. The main objective of this mega event is to promote true and real picture of Karachi and Pakistan, with an emphasis on Karachi as centre of commercial activities as well as hub of financial, economic and industrial activities of Pakistan.
Karachi City - the largest metropolis of Pakistan is recognised and valued as diversified and a gateway to Central Asia and the Middle East. It would be a complete exhibition in all aspects encompassing the interests of corporate sector and consumers. The image of Karachi was tarnished by the Western media and now its responsibility of people of Karachi specially the business community to come forward in order to rebuild the image of metropolis in particular and Pakistan in general and make this event successful. The organisers hoped that the exhibition would portray the true picture of Karachi as a peaceful city and the economic hub of Pakistan. The exhibition will also promote trade.
