The Asia Pacific ICT Awards (APICTA) is an international Awards Program to provide a platform for innovators and entrepreneurs in the ICT sectors in the region to benchmark their products and to broaden their network.

This year Team Pakistan, represented by 30 strong delegation and 19 companies, presented 21 products from Pakistan at APICTA on 30th November, 2014 at Jakarta.
