The Silicon Valley leg, the third edition of a tech investment conference series run by Pakistan's diplomatic missions with PSEB, included company presentations and a panel titled "Pakistan to Silicon Valley: Building and Scaling Global Tech Companies" on entering the US market, winning enterprise customers and scaling global teams. A fireside chat covered opportunities in the US technology market. At the close, Ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh urged the diaspora on the West Coast to help present Pakistan as a "cost and quality competitive tech destination" and told Pakistani and American businesses to form partnerships and look at investment in emerging technologies.
