ICCD has announced the launch of the 2nd edition of BOE Asia, scheduled to take place on September 24, 2025, at Karachi Expo Centre alongside the 26th ITCN Asia. This year’s theme, “Techpreneurship: Strategy, Innovation & Leadership,” is designed to spotlight the evolving role of technology in shaping entrepreneurship and driving economic progress across Asia.
The new edition builds on the success of last year’s inaugural event, “Agri-tech: Feeding the Future,” which drew over 350 participants from 14 countries and featured 20 prominent regional speakers. The first edition created a platform for collaboration in agricultural innovation, highlighting the potential of technology in addressing global food challenges. Building on that momentum, the upcoming edition seeks to deepen the dialogue around how entrepreneurs can harness technology to build scalable solutions, strengthen business leadership, and accelerate growth in a fast-changing digital economy.
BOE Asia will bring together influential voices from across the technology and entrepreneurship spectrum, creating an environment where knowledge sharing and cross-border partnerships can flourish. Attendees can expect interactive panel discussions, insightful workshops, and extensive networking opportunities with stakeholders from diverse industries. By placing a spotlight on tech-driven entrepreneurship, the event aims to inspire founders, innovators, and policymakers to explore new strategies for sustainable growth.
The initiative is part of the broader BOE Series, which has positioned itself as a platform for innovation and progress in OIC member countries. Through these gatherings, ICCD emphasizes its mission to foster economic resilience and transformation by uniting entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and ecosystem builders under one umbrella. With a clear focus on innovation-led entrepreneurship, the series underscores how collaboration and shared vision can create pathways for inclusive development.
The 2nd edition in Karachi is expected to serve as a bridge for entrepreneurs across Asia to exchange ideas and explore collective opportunities. By engaging stakeholders from multiple countries, the event will amplify discussions on leadership in the digital era, strategies for technology adoption, and frameworks for building innovative ecosystems that can withstand global challenges.
For Pakistan, hosting BOE Asia during ITCN Asia represents a chance to showcase its growing role as a hub for digital innovation and entrepreneurial activity in the region. It provides local entrepreneurs exposure to international expertise, while also allowing global participants to gain insights into emerging opportunities within Pakistan’s evolving market.
As ICCD prepares for the gathering, the focus remains on creating a collaborative platform where technology, leadership, and entrepreneurship intersect. The 2nd edition of BOE Asia will not only celebrate innovation but also highlight how strategic vision and collective action can chart the course for Asia’s entrepreneurial future.
