Making its debut at GITEX 2025, the National Information Technology Board (NITB)—operating under the Ministry of IT & Telecom—is set to spotlight Pakistan’s rapid strides in digital transformation at one of the world’s most prestigious technology showcases.

This marks a significant milestone for NITB, as it brings to the global stage a suite of government-led digital initiatives that are modernizing public services and enabling efficient, transparent governance.

Key Platforms on Display

At the Pakistan Pavilion, NITB will present several of its flagship platforms, including:

  • e-Office: A secure, paperless system that has transformed workflows across all federal ministries and departments.
  • Cabinet Portal: Designed to streamline cabinet procedures and facilitate secure decision-making.
  • PakApp: A centralized mobile application offering citizens access to various public services.
  • G2G and G2C Services: Digital solutions for seamless communication between government bodies and for delivering essential services directly to citizens.
  • One Patient, One ID: A healthcare digitization initiative aimed at building unified medical records for every citizen, improving patient care and access.

A Global Stage for Pakistan’s Digital Vision

GITEX is recognized as a premier international tech event, attracting over 200,000 attendees and more than 6,500 exhibitors from over 180 countries. For Pakistan, this global platform offers an opportunity to amplify its presence in the digital economy and showcase its capabilities in e-governance, public service delivery, and IT innovation.

Already exporting IT and IT-enabled services to nearly 170 countries, Pakistan’s tech industry continues to stand out for its cost-efficiency—offering up to 70% lower operational costs compared to markets in North America.

Driving Investment and Collaboration

More than just a tech exhibition, GITEX is a vibrant marketplace for investors, corporations, governments, and startups to connect, collaborate, and explore partnerships. Pakistan’s participation is expected to spark interest in venture capital funding, joint R&D efforts, and public-private partnerships that could further boost digital development.

Of particular interest is GITEX’s Expand North Star segment—an innovation-driven space that hosts thousands of startups and hundreds of global investors, offering a valuable opportunity for Pakistan’s digital initiatives to attract international attention and funding.

Positioning Pakistan as a Digital Leader

NITB’s inaugural presence at GITEX 2025 sends a strong signal about Pakistan’s commitment to digital governance, citizen empowerment, and its broader vision for a connected government. By sharing its progress and platforms with a global audience, NITB aims to position Pakistan as a rising force in the digital government landscape—and as an attractive destination for innovation, investment, and technology partnerships.
