Pakistan will host the Asian-Oceanian Computing Industry Organisation Digital Summit in November 2026. Former chairman of the Pakistan Software Houses Association, Muhammad Zohaib Khan, wrote on LinkedIn that “Pakistan has officially won the bid [to host]… This means the technology leadership and delegations of 24 member countries will be arriving in Pakistan”.
The Asian-Oceanian Computing Industry Organisation (AOSCIO) Digital Summit brings together policymakers, technology companies and academics from 24 member economies to discuss regional cooperation and the digital economy.

What is the ASOCIO Digital Summit?
ASOCIO is a federation of national IT associations across Asia and Oceania, and uses the summit to convene ministers, regulators, CEOs, investors and researchers on themes such as digital policy, AI, skills, cybersecurity and cross-border collaboration.
The meeting typically includes keynotes, policy roundtables, business-to-business networking and the ASOCIO awards recognising public and private sector digital initiatives.
The 2025 edition is taking place in Taipei from November 10 to 12, while previous summits were held in Tokyo in 2024 and Seoul in 2023. ASOCIO’s public events page does not yet display the 2026 host, and updates and further details will typically appear closer to the event.
Pakistan’s selection would mark the first time the summit is staged in the country. Other countries in the federation include Korea, Japan, Bangladesh, Australia, India, Sri Lanka and more.
