CEGA has spotlighted three Karachi-based startups, Imagine World, TuPack, and Sabz Film, ahead of their appearance at FUTUREPLAY Investor Summit 2026, scheduled for July 9, 2026, in Karachi. Each of the three ventures represents a distinct facet of Pakistan’s growing gaming, technology, and creative content ecosystem, and their participation in the summit will give them direct access to investors, publishers, media houses, and industry leaders shaping the future direction of these sectors both within Pakistan and internationally.
Imagine World is a promising gaming startup founded by four ambitious students who share a vision of creating immersive games and expansive virtual worlds built proudly in Pakistan. What began as a student-led initiative is evolving into a venture driven by creativity, innovation, and a genuine passion for interactive experiences. The founding story of Imagine World reflects a pattern that is becoming increasingly visible within Pakistan’s gaming ecosystem, where university students are moving beyond academic exercises into building genuine commercial ventures while still completing their studies, representing the next generation of founders who are transforming creative ideas into functioning products. Imagine World’s focus on immersive gaming and virtual world development places it within one of the more technically ambitious segments of the gaming industry, requiring the team to develop expertise spanning game design, world-building, and the technical infrastructure needed to support expansive, persistent virtual environments.
TuPack represents a different but complementary dimension of Pakistan’s startup landscape, driven by a vision to solve real-world challenges through technology and innovation. As one of the ventures set to take the stage at FUTUREPLAY, TuPack reflects the next wave of Pakistani startups building scalable solutions with genuine growth potential, positioning itself among the broader category of technology-driven ventures that the summit is designed to showcase alongside the more explicitly gaming and entertainment-focused startups in attendance. The opportunity to connect with investors, industry leaders, and ecosystem stakeholders at FUTUREPLAY gives TuPack access to exactly the kind of strategic relationships and growth avenues that early-stage technology ventures need to accelerate their development beyond their current operating scale.
Sabz Film brings a distinctly creative and narrative-driven dimension to the spotlight, operating as a creative production studio dedicated to producing high-quality visual content with a strong focus on animated films and series. Driven by a passion for storytelling, Sabz Film brings original ideas, meaningful narratives, and cultural creativity to life, producing content designed to entertain, educate, and inspire audiences both within Pakistan and internationally. The studio’s commitment to animated storytelling situates it within a content category that has historically been underdeveloped within Pakistan’s media landscape relative to the country’s storytelling traditions and cultural depth, and Sabz Film’s work represents an effort to build genuinely original animated content that can compete for attention within both domestic and global entertainment markets.
Together, Imagine World, TuPack, and Sabz Film illustrate the breadth of innovation currently emerging from Karachi’s startup ecosystem within the gaming, technology, and creative content space, spanning student-founded gaming ventures, scalable technology solutions, and original animated storytelling. Their collective participation in FUTUREPLAY Investor Summit 2026 reflects CEGA’s continued effort, backed by Ignite and the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, to build visibility and investor connections for the startups working to establish Pakistan’s creative economy as a genuine contributor to the country’s broader technology and innovation landscape.
