According to the report, the Pakistan Investment Roadshow has provided awareness to the visitors about the valuable resources and investment opportunities available in Pakistan and attracts investors in diverse sectors, including minerals, information technology, agriculture and energy.
Using the platform, 30 Pakistani firms presented their project proposals/growth strategies during pitch sessions (B2B) covering various sectors including agriculture, IT and energy.
The event included a panel discussion on Pakistan's investment landscape vis-à-vis emerging markets and how to take advantage of the opportunities ahead, which included government and private sector experts.
The SIFC is working to create a conducive environment to bring foreign investment into the country.
“The roadshow also highlighted the SIFC's efforts to improve investment climate in Pakistan,” the report added.
On the second day of the show, SIFC director general briefed the investors about the investment opportunities in Pakistan.
