Nominations Needed For PASHA ICT Awards 2007

By Babar Bhatti | October 11, 2007 | No Comments

The trend of business case competitions, awards and other related activities in Pakistan is encouraging. I am excited to write about another great opportunity for innovators and entrepreneurs in the information and communiction technology sector.  The PASHA ICT Awards are now open for nomination in 15 categories. Category winners represent Pakistan at the APICTA ICT Awards 2007 in Singapore in November, one of the most well respected regional competitions for software companies from Asia. PASHA will cover the airfare to Singapore. But hurry the nomination ends on Oct 19  21 (extended by 2 days).

As you rush to send in your nominations, see Jawwad’s Blog post for his team’s past experience and observations (an excerpt below) and Jehan Ara’s Blogfor more info about the different clusters and product definitions. Jehan emphasizes that “the student category is also important so if you know of any student projects that deserve recognition, please ask them to nominate their projects for the P@SHA Awards.”

The real reason why you should participate is that the Awards are a very strong mechanism for changing perceptions about Pakistan. Two of my very good friends in the region thought that this country had no significant technology focus or future when it came to technology. Their interaction with the number of technology companies from Pakistan at the awards and the depth of our product offerings changed their point of view.  Both of them are now bullish on us as a nation. Both took the time to travel to Karachi. One of them, I suspect is responsible for the Singapore Pavilion at our local IT exhibition this year.

So if you think you have done something remarkable  that the world or at least the Asia Pacific region should know about, use the PASHA ICT Awards and the ASOCIO APICTA Awards to showcase yourself.  Make us proud.  It makes for great bragging rights.
