NIC Karachi has brought twenty five startups to LEAP 2026 in Riyadh, showcasing Pakistani innovation, technology, and entrepreneurial talent on one of the world’s leading technology platforms. From AI and fintech to emerging technologies, the startups are exploring new markets, meeting investors, and building connections across the GCC.
The delegation spans a wide range of sectors and includes Asamak Farms, Autilent, formerly ByteCorp, Blinq Solutions, Commify.ai, Connectia, Cort Technologies, Creative 3D, The Disrupt Labs, Fortanixor Technologies, and FortifyERP Technologies. Also present are Insijam, Kaacib, formerly Hukam Janab, Maalbardaar, formerly Kings of Cargo, manufacturing.pk, MCS, Metaworks, OSquare, Saheli, the AI health companion platform, SmartSphere Technologies, and SOCByte.
Rounding out the delegation are Stellisys, Superbutler.ai, Superwomen Pakistan, The Farms, and YasraLabs, rebranded from its earlier name Kwik Trust. Several of these companies bring distinct specialisations to the summit, including Kaacib’s work in fintech and Maalbardaar’s digital supply chain logistics platform, both of which have previously described plans to use LEAP as a pathway toward establishing a more permanent presence in Saudi Arabia. Saheli, meanwhile, brings its women’s health technology platform, having recently been recognised with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Excellence Award.
The scale of NIC Karachi’s delegation, spanning twenty five startups across such a diverse range of sectors from agriculture technology to cybersecurity and health tech, reflects the breadth of ventures the incubator has developed through its various cohorts. This diversity gives the delegation multiple entry points for engagement with LEAP’s international audience, depending on which sector a given investor, buyer, or partner is most interested in exploring.
The event was supported by Tech Destination Pakistan, Ministry Of IT and Telecommunication, Ignite National Technology Fund, LMKT, LuckyOne Mall, and Orbit Ventures, reflecting the institutional network tied to NIC Karachi’s ongoing programming. NIC Karachi’s presence adds to the broader wave of Pakistani participation at LEAP 2026, which this year included the country’s largest ever national delegation, alongside Ignite’s separate startup showcase and Pakistan Software Export Board’s dedicated pavilion, together reflecting the scale of Pakistan’s engagement with this year’s summit.
