021 event The relaxed investment climate in Pakistan in general and in Karachi in particular manifested itself in the shape of the 021 investor conference which recently concluded in the Sindh metropolis. A good number of investors attended that meeting which was organized second year running.
The purpose of the meeting has been to bring together investors who are ready to invest or enter into a joint venture with the companies willing to make the most of the capital opportunities available. The event for obvious reasons that the upcoming entrepreneurial opportunities as well as ground is available in the technology based solutions, also attracted leading associations as well as names from the Pakistani TECH scene.
