Description
OPEN is a not-for-profit association dedicated to the promotion of entrepreneurship within the Pakistani-American community. Founded in 1998 by a group of Pakistani-American entrepreneurs and corporate executives, OPEN has a total of 10 chapters in the U.S., UK and Pakistan with over 3000+ members, globally!
OPEN Karachi is the association’s first foot-hold into Pakistan thereby helping to strengthen the communication between the North American chapters and industry in Pakistan. Since the association’s charter is to provide networking and enhanced business opportunities for entrepreneurs and professionals of Pakistani heritage in North America, the decision to launch its local presence, was a critical one.
OPEN Karachi’s role includes:
- First non-US chapter, hence, a "Bridge to Pakistan"
- Ambassadors for OPEN to the Pakistani business, tech and entrepreneurial community
- Partner and complement the existing entrepreneurial and leadership organizations such as TIE, ABC, PASHA, PSEB, MITEF etc
