Pakistan’s Presence at WebSummit 2025
Among the notable participants was the Government of Pakistan, represented by its Federal IT Department, “Ignite.” Pakistan’s involvement underscored its growing emphasis on digital innovation, entrepreneurship, and global market engagement.
In a special initiative, the Pakistani Consulate in Vancouver hosted an exclusive B2B networking session. This tech & business session was led by Mr. Meer Anwar, CEO of PixelPaddle (also Director of the Pakistan Canada Trade Association), who delivered a detailed orientation for the international delegation. His presentation not only provided insights into the Canadian market landscape but also introduced a range of technology partners to foster potential collaborations between Pakistan and Canada.

The session proved to be a milestone in strengthening bilateral ties. The initiative was widely appreciated, with participants recommending that such B2B engagements be institutionalized as regular events to bridge the gap between the two countries.
Mr. Anwar’s efforts received strong recognition—not only from the local Canadian industries who valued the knowledge exchange—but also from the Government of Pakistan. The Federal IT Department, Ignite, publicly acknowledged his contribution and highlighted the event on their official social media platforms, showcasing the global impact of such collaborative efforts.
