In a significant stride for international tech cooperation, GO Telecommunications has officially opened its GO AI Hub and GO Talent Center in Islamabad, Pakistan. This launch marks a pivotal moment in fostering collaboration in technology and innovation between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

The high-profile event, themed “Empowering the Future: GO Bridging Innovation Between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan,” was a joint effort with Pakistan’s Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication. It convened an impressive gathering of senior dignitaries and industry leaders, including H.E. Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Pakistan, and Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication.

Yahya Bin Saleh Al-Mansour, CEO of GO Group, described the new center as a “strategic platform.” He highlighted its role in empowering Pakistani talent and businesses to connect with Saudi markets and jointly develop cutting-edge digital solutions. This initiative is designed to complement GO’s existing Silicon Valley hub, thereby forging a powerful cross-border innovation ecosystem that unites Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the global technology and AI landscape through shared research, entrepreneurship, and knowledge exchange.

Federal Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja commended GO Telecommunications for its dedication to bolstering Pakistan’s digital economy. She emphasized that the initiative truly embodies the spirit of collaboration between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, uniting vision, investment, and innovation to cultivate the skilled workforce and advanced technologies of tomorrow.

The event, skillfully moderated by journalist and public-diplomacy advocate Sidra Iqbal and produced by Miradore, Pakistan’s leading experiential-events agency, delivered an immersive experience celebrating vision, partnership, and innovation. The gathering also acknowledged the crucial strategic partnerships already established between GO Telecom and various government and private sector entities. These collaborations are set to pave the way for deeper engagement in AI, emerging technologies, and digital entrepreneurship, aligning seamlessly with both Saudi Vision 2030 and Pakistan’s National AI Policy.
