Pakistan showcases about 20 technology firms at San Francisco event

Key takeaways

A Pakistan Pavilion at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 gave around 20 local tech companies a platform to meet potential US customers and partners.

What happened

The October 13–15 event took place in San Francisco. Pakistan's Software Export Board promoted a delegation and the pavilion, while Associated Press of Pakistan and Dawn reported participation by about 20 firms. Presence at the event is confirmed; resulting deals or investment have not been announced in these reports.

Why it matters

Access to overseas customers and investors can matter for Pakistan's software-export sector, but exhibition participation alone is not a measure of export growth.

What to watch

Watch for independently confirmed contracts, investment or follow-up partnerships after the event.
