Additionally, I facilitated connections between Pak Angels' qualified startups and potential business opportunities in Saudi Arabia. I also engaged with passionate individuals from Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey who expressed strong interest in bringing Pak Angels' high-value skills enablement programs—starting with Generative AI—to their countries.
