I knew P@SHA ICT awards organized at Karachi Marriott Hotel, awards were organized with the collaboration of BearingPoint, Wateen, the National ICT R&D Fund, Oracle Kalsoft, Dell Computers, PSEB. Wateen was gold sponsor of this event and provided free WIFI access to the audience. Many company representatives came and were very motivated to get awards.

Yes I think highlighting the product innovation that is taking place here, does motivate others. I spoke at iTEC at NED a couple of months ago, talking about the innovation that is taking place in our industry and the young people that are spearheading a lot of it.

Today I spoke at the Software Competition at Szabist and told them about the larger established companies, the younger mid-sized companies and the many ideapreneurs that have emerged. The audience consisted of kids from 0 and A levels from various schools and CS students from various universities. I believe my presentation changed a few perceptions and motivated both the faculty and the kids.

Jehan, you are most welcome. I’ve updated the post with the mention of foneITall. It is indeed a great feeling to see all this innovation. I hope that writing about this will inspire and encourage others.

Thanks Babar. Really appreciate the coverage for the telecom based application winners. We have so much talent in this country. I continue to be amazed at some of the wonderful innovation coming out of Pakistan.

You missed out foneITall from Five Rivers Technologies, Lahore which won the Merit in the Communications Category.
