The gaming industry in Pakistan has been on the rise in recent years, with a number of major international investments in the country's gaming tech sector attracting the attention of global tech players. This growth has led to acquisitions of local talent, culminating in a historic event in Islamabad where over 150 game developers, animators, and designers gathered for an unprecedented meetup.
The event, hosted at the offices of IDRAK AI and Design Peeps, marked a pivotal moment for Pakistan's gaming and animation industry. Organized in collaboration with Arab Play, Miradore, Section Soft, Huawei, and Moonshot Animations, the meetup showcased the spirit of innovation and partnership in the industry.
Throughout the evening, industry leaders shared insights into the current landscape and future prospects of game and animation development in Pakistan, leading to the signing of three Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and two significant contracts. These agreements are set to drive the industry forward, targeting both local and Saudi market segments.
"We are elated by the turnout and enthusiasm from all sectors—government, academia, industry, and students," said Sheikh Abdul Qadir, MD of IDRAK AI, and Usman Fiaz, CEO of Design Peeps. The event celebrated the thriving community of game developers, animators, and designers, highlighting the significant growth and potential of the gaming industry in Pakistan.
The event stands as a milestone in the industry, fostering future growth and collaboration in gaming and animation. As Pakistan continues to make waves in the global gaming and animation markets, such events will play a crucial role in driving innovation and fostering a robust ecosystem for the industry to thrive.
