About Us

Bringing together public and private sectors of Pakistan through innovation and technology

At Tech Valley, we are continuously working to bridge the gap between academia, industry and the government with the help of technology and innovation. Our projects focus on encouraging digitization of the government sector, as well as linking the current businesses with the respective ministries to boost the social impact.

Our Mission

We use technology to help people build successful businesses, and in the process, we aim to increase positive social interaction. Our mission is to transform the existing landscape of Pakistan by working in six domains: Entrepreneurship, Capacity Building, Education, Government Engagement, Technology & Tourism.

Our Journey

Tech Valley was founded in 2015, with an aim of empowering the tech-talent of the Northern Areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit/Baltistan. Our mission was to transform the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the mountainous regions working in 6 domains: Entrepreneurship, Capacity Building, Education, Government Engagement, Technology, Tourism.

At Tech Valley, we work with private, government and international organizations on numerous educational tech and incubation initiatives. We help the companies engage and work directly with the public sector to harness the power of social impact programs.

Tech Valley turns 6!


Milestones: As the partnership with Google for Education and Google Workspace grows, we digitized 7 schools in two provinces of Pakistan amid the COVID-19 crisis under a pilot program. Students were migrated to the Google for Education platform, and teachers were provided training on how to effectively deliver lectures online. Apart from that, we successfully competed and won a public tender to digitize the internal communication and work processes of the National Assembly of Pakistan. With our global partner, GFA Consulting Group, we conducted a feasibility study for digital governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa along with E-Governance Academy-Estonia, which was funded by KfW Development Bank.
