KARACHI: In a landmark move to strengthen Pakistan’s tech ecosystem, the Citadel Pathfinder School of Excellence signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) at Expo Center Karachi. The collaboration will enable Pakistani startups to compete at the prestigious Davos Startup Challenge during the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in January 2026.
