COE 2025 was a reminder that when leaders come together, opportunities follow. Our aim has always been to build bridges for Gilgit-Baltistan, and this announcement takes us one step closer.

Zohaib Khan, former Chairman Pakistan Software Houses Association and CEO A2ZCreatorz, announced 10 Free PASHA Memberships for tech companies from Gilgit-Baltistan.

This opens doors to national networks, mentorship, policy representation, and business growth for emerging GB companies. This is exactly why the Coalition of Employers exists: to create pathways that empower local talent and integrate GB into Pakistan’s mainstream tech economy.

We are deeply grateful to Zohaib Khan for believing in GB’s potential and supporting its rise.
