In a major boost for Pakistan’s startup ecosystem, P@SHA has joined forces with ITCN Asia 2025 and Value Makers Studio (VMS) to offer a unique international expansion opportunity for promising tech startups. The initiative will provide selected startups with full legal registration support in Saudi Arabia, facilitated entirely by VMS, enabling them to scale operations in one of the fastest-growing tech markets in the Middle East.

The call for applications is now live, with a tight deadline of Monday, May 5, 2025. Eligible startups must be tech-focused with at least one year of traction and available for an in-person session in Lahore on Sunday, May 11. This exclusive opportunity is aimed at startups ready to take their growth beyond borders, opening doors to new markets, investors, and cross-border collaboration.

As part of the initiative, selected startups will receive not just legal setup services, but also mentorship, strategic guidance, and ecosystem support to ensure a smooth market entry into Saudi Arabia. With the Kingdom ramping up its Vision 2030 agenda—where technology and innovation are key pillars—Pakistan-based startups have a timely opportunity to plug into an expanding regional digital economy.

The Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA), known for its role in nurturing the country’s tech ecosystem, continues to lead efforts that connect local innovators with global opportunities. Through this collaboration with ITCN Asia and VMS, P@SHA is reinforcing its commitment to helping Pakistani startups go global, especially in high-potential markets like the GCC.

With the right momentum, this initiative could help a new generation of Pakistani startups plant their flag on international soil—starting with Saudi Arabia.
