Published on

OPEN Global’s Karachi Chapter is bringing together Pakistan’s top entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and professionals for an exclusive high-impact networking event titled Power Hour: Connecting Pakistan’s Professionals & Entrepreneurs to the World. Scheduled for Monday, August 18, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, the session marks the revitalization of OPEN Karachi and its renewed focus on strengthening mentorship, innovation, and global business connections.

The event, which will take place at PSTD, Plot # TC-3, 34th Street, off Khayaban-e-Sehr, Phase-V Ext., DHA, Karachi, will provide a rare opportunity for participants to engage directly with influential figures in Pakistan’s professional and entrepreneurial community. This invitation-only gathering aims to foster meaningful collaborations, open doors to international opportunities, and showcase the growing role of Pakistani talent in global markets.

A highlight of the evening will be the presence of Tariq Khan, President of OPEN Global and Clinical Professor at New York University. With extensive experience in academia, entrepreneurship, and leadership, Khan’s insights are expected to resonate strongly with attendees seeking guidance on scaling ventures, navigating international markets, and building sustainable professional networks.

Founded in Boston in 1998, OPEN Global has grown into the world’s premier network of Pakistani entrepreneurs and professionals, with chapters in major cities worldwide. Its mission revolves around empowering business leaders and emerging talent through mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and cross-border collaboration. By revitalizing its Karachi Chapter, OPEN Global aims to deepen its impact on Pakistan’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, creating pathways for local ventures to access global expertise, capital, and partnerships.

The Power Hour event is not designed as a typical seminar or formal conference; instead, it emphasizes dynamic, peer-to-peer engagement. Attendees will have the chance to exchange ideas, share professional experiences, and explore synergies in a focused environment. The session will also spotlight OPEN Global’s broader vision for connecting Pakistani professionals with influential networks abroad, helping to position them at the forefront of international business and innovation.

By reactivating its Karachi Chapter, OPEN Global is signaling its commitment to nurturing leadership talent in Pakistan and aligning local ambitions with global opportunities. Through initiatives like the Power Hour, the organization is creating a platform for knowledge exchange, professional growth, and business expansion — reaffirming its long-standing mission to mentor and empower the leaders of today and tomorrow.
