Pakistan TechCrunch Disrupt draws 20 firms to San Francisco
Pakistan showcased around 20 technology companies at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 in San Francisco, giving local firms a platform to present products to investors, customers and technology partners in the United States. The Pakistan TechCrunch Disrupt presence centred on a national pavilion at Moscone West from October 13 to 15. The conference is a major gathering of founders, software professionals, investors and venture capital firms seeking customers, partnerships and funding.
What the Pakistan Pavilion showed
Companies at the pavilion worked across artificial intelligence (AI), software-as-a-service (SaaS — subscription software delivered online), fintech (financial technology), semiconductor design, enterprise software, cloud technology, e-commerce and business services. The group mixed established exporters with smaller firms building newer products for international markets, beyond traditional software outsourcing alone.
Named participants included Adam Technologies, AlphaRages, Arcana Semiconductors, Big Entities, Denovers, Developers Hub, FlexLab, Geek Solutions, Geeks of Kolachi, Global Prep Service, InfoTech Group, JP Tech Communication, KoderLabs, MYTM Technologies, Noor Ahmed Ecommerce Solutions, PieCyfer, Sanctum Ops, Spadasoft, Synergy Hub and TAG Solutions.
Arcana Semiconductors focuses on Physical AI and Edge AI chips and intellectual property for autonomous systems, drones and intelligent surveillance, covering chip architecture, design, verification and embedded software. MYTM Technologies builds fintech infrastructure such as digital wallets, payment systems, lending platforms and banking software, with AI-based underwriting and regulatory technology, and operates in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. InfoTech Group, with more than three decades in enterprise technology, serves capital markets, banking, government and infrastructure, and has expanded into agentic AI, cloud infrastructure, blockchain custody and risk intelligence. FlexLab develops AI agents, retrieval-augmented enterprise systems, workflow automation and SaaS products. PieCyfer also works on AI-focused products.
Envoy pushes closer Pakistan–US IT links
Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States, Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, visited the pavilion, met company representatives and was briefed on their products and plans to grow in the US market. He appreciated the industry’s growing capabilities and stressed stronger Pakistan–US cooperation in information technology, innovation and digital entrepreneurship. He encouraged firms to use their Silicon Valley presence to build lasting commercial relationships and explore investment, and said Pakistan’s missions in the United States would help them form those links.
Officials framed the Pakistan TechCrunch Disrupt outing as part of wider efforts to raise the sector’s international profile, ease market access and deepen commercial ties with the United States — described as Pakistan’s largest ICT (information and communications technology) export market.

Aasan alfaaz mein
Pakistan ne San Francisco mein TechCrunch Disrupt par lagbhag 20 tech companies dikhai hain. Yeh companies AI, payments, software aur chips jaisi cheezen America ke investors aur clients ko dikha rahi thin. Pakistan ke ambassador ne kaha ke America ke sath IT aur innovation ke rishtay mazboot hone chahiye. Ordinary logon ke liye seedha matlab yeh hai ke zyada global kaam milne se IT jobs aur dollar earnings ki ummeed barh sakti hai — lekin yeh abhi marketing aur rabta banane ka qadam hai, guarantee nahi.
