Pakistan’s IT Industry Association (P@SHA) hosted its premier industry event, the HBL-P@SHA ICT Awards 2025, to celebrate the country’s brightest minds in the field of technology.
The Awards, supported by HBL, Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), Contour Software, Systems Limited, and Tech-Destination Pakistan, highlighted Pakistan’s most innovative startups, digital solutions, and IT companies that are shaping the future of the country’s digital economy and earning recognition on the global stage.
Chairman P@SHA Sajjad Mustafa Syed said:
With initiatives such as the HBL-P@SHA ICT Awards, P@SHA not only recognizes and celebrates excellence but also encourages entrepreneurship, promotes inclusivity, and supports the creation of globally competitive companies.
The Awards continue to play a vital role in recognizing excellence in software, mobile apps, digital services, research and development, e-governance, and other emerging areas. He further added that: “The 2025 HBL-P@SHA ICT Awards achieved a record milestone with more than 1,600 applications received from across Pakistan, the highest in the history of the Awards. Out of these, 104 companies were honored, with 37 winners, 58 runner-ups, and 9 receiving special appreciation awards.”
Winners gain valuable exposure and the opportunity to represent Pakistan at the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance (APICTA) Awards, a platform where regional leaders in technology come together.
By celebrating achievement, encouraging competition, and strengthening connections across industry, academia, and government, the P@SHA ICT Awards reaffirm Pakistan’s place as a rising force in the global technology landscape.
