OPEN Global has announced the PAK-US Tech Connect 2026 roadshow, a series of events meant to bring Pakistani technology leaders together with the needs of global enterprises. The roadshow will visit four US cities in October, and it brings the chief executives and leaders who deliver technology for global enterprises directly to US companies. The firms they represent have established US operations and have the specialised skills needed to carry out large technology projects, which is the point the organisers stress for businesses that want to stay ahead of their peers as digital transformation and AI-enabled tools spread.
The four stops are Silicon Valley on Friday, 16 October at Krutch Theater on the Clark Kerr Campus of the University of California, Berkeley; Dallas on Monday, 19 October at Wyndham DFW Airport; Washington D.C. on Wednesday, 21 October at the Embassy of Pakistan; and Chicago on Friday, 23 October at BMO Tower. Each event will focus on four areas: artificial intelligence and automation, enterprise solutions, cloud and data, and product engineering. Companies that attend can meet the leaders of Pakistani firms, judge whether their services fit a project, and find a technology provider for their next initiative. Registration is done through the QR codes on the official flyer for each city.
The roadshow gives a wider frame to the Silicon Valley event that the Consulate General of Pakistan in Los Angeles is hosting on 16 October, and it matches the four cities of the Pak-US Tech Connect 2026 market access mission that Ignite National Technology Fund has opened to Pakistani startups. The United States is the largest market for Pakistan’s information technology exports, taking more than half of the total, so a coordinated series of events across several American cities is aimed at turning existing relationships into larger, longer term contracts.
OPEN Global is the international network of the Organization of Pakistani Entrepreneurs, with chapters across North America, Europe and Pakistan. The organisers credited its President, Tariq Khan, and Faisal Jeddy, along with the regional chapters OPEN Silicon Valley, OPEN Dallas, OPEN Washington D.C. and OPEN Chicago, for making the roadshow possible. For Pakistani technology firms, the four stops offer direct access to American decision makers in the technology hub of the West Coast, the business centre of Texas, the capital and the industrial heartland of the Midwest within the space of eight days.
