Why Japan for IT Exports?
The event was a great achievement, as it led to Pakistani companies securing valuable business opportunities in a new market, while also strengthening trade relations between both countries. As Pakistan’s IT industry continues to thrive, events such as Japan IT Week Spring 2023 offer Pakistani companies substantial prospects to display their skills, broaden their business prospects, and contribute to promoting the brand image of Pakistan’s IT industry. Such endeavors have the potential to fuel growth in the industry and the country’s economy.
The Managing Director of Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) highlighted the significance of the IT sector in the 70-year diplomatic relationship between Japan and Pakistan. Emphasizing the need for expansion and collaboration, he stressed the importance of IT in strengthening ties between the two nations.
