Veon and GSMA sign MoU to co-fund tech start-ups in Pakistan. By Abdul Wasay | 20 seconds ago | Global digital operator Veon has signed a memorandum of understanding with the GSMA's Mobile for Development Foundation to jointly back technology start-ups in Pakistan, with JazzWorld, the country's leading integrated digital services company, serving as the primary vehicle for the partnership. The agreement was formalised on the sidelines of MWC26 in Barcelona, with signatures from John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer of the GSMA and President of the GSMA Foundation, and Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of JazzWorld. Under the terms of the MoU, JazzWorld will co-fund Pakistani start-ups selected as grantees through the GSMA Innovation Fund's 2026 funding rounds. Selection follows a publicly announced, competitive evaluation process managed by the GSMA Foundation, focused specifically on ventures whose models generate measurable social, economic, or climate impact through mobile technology. Beyond direct financing, JazzWorld may also provide in-kind contributions including ecosystem visibility and capacity-building support to help chosen projects grow. "JazzWorld has a strong track record of working with the Pakistan's entrepreneurs to accelerate digital innovation in Pakistan. We look forward to collaborating further with the GSMA Foundation to support the next generation of entrepreneurs who are building locally-relevant digital solutions that generate growth for Pakistani communities across various service verticals," said Aamir Ibrahim, CEO, JazzWorld. The significance of the arrangement for Pakistan's startup landscape lies in what JazzWorld brings beyond a cheque. As the country's dominant digital operator, JazzWorld carries with it access to a massive subscriber base, established distribution infrastructure, and deep relationships with regulators, all of which represent substantial non-financial value for early-stage companies trying to reach scale inside Pakistan's market. The MoU also extends to Banglalink, Veon's digital operator in Bangladesh, which will participate in co-funding start-ups selected in that country under the same framework. Talking to media, John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer, GSMA and President of the GSMA Foundation, said: "Jazz and Banglalink, both part of Veon Group, play a leading role in shaping the digital landscape in Pakistan and Bangladesh... Collaborating with them will further enhance the support of the GSMA Innovation Fund for entrepreneurs driving positive social impact in these two countries." The deal places JazzWorld directly inside a structured, internationally governed funding pipeline at a moment when Pakistan's technology sector is actively seeking credible institutional backing. Telecoms operators across emerging markets have increasingly moved beyond infrastructure provision in recent years, positioning themselves as stakeholders in broader digital economy development. For Pakistan, where mobile penetration remains the primary gateway to internet access for tens of millions of people, a partnership anchored in a major carrier carries particular reach. The GSMA Innovation Fund (the "Fund") identifies and supports start-ups with models that drive positive social, economic, and climate impact through mobile technology in developing countries. Projects are selected by the GSMA Foundation transparently and on a competitive basis through a rigorous evaluation process following publicly-announced funding rounds.

JazzWorld drives ai-led transformation through strategic partnership with moitt at Indus AI Week 2026. Published by News Desk on February 10, 2026 Islamabad - February 09, 2026: JazzWorld, Pakistan's leading digital services company, has partnered with the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) for Indus AI Week 2026. The partnership will support national AI capacity-building, public-sector pilots, and local language model development. The collaboration places JazzWorld at the forefront of Pakistan's evolving AI ecosystem, convening policymakers, industry leaders, technologists, and innovators to shape a shared vision for AI-driven economic growth, competitiveness, and institutional transformation. Indus AI Week serves as a strategic forum to align national priorities with next-generation technologies capable of delivering measurable impact across sectors. Aamir Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of JazzWorld, during a panel titled "Expert Led Strategic Dialogue: Designing AI Native Government" stated "AI is a multiplier, not a buzzword. Pakistan's opportunity is to move from being an AI taker to an AI maker, and that requires execution, not just rhetoric. At JazzWorld, we are embedding AI into everyday decision-making, productivity, and customer experience, backed by pragmatic business cases, strong governance, and relevant upskilling. With our renewed focus and the appointment of a Chief AI Officer, we are moving decisively from experimentation to scale and setting the pace for Pakistan's AI-led future." Aamer Ejaz, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at JazzWorld, speaking during a fireside chat titled "Building Competitive AI Ecosystems without Losing Sovereignty," added: "In a globally connected AI economy, sovereignty is about strategic choices, not isolation. You can be sovereign where it matters through the right infrastructure, policy frameworks, and data governance. AI must be driven by real use cases, real customers, and real value. At JazzWorld, our focus is on building a responsible, commercially viable AI ecosystem that remains open to global innovation while protecting local data, language, and context." Fatima Akhtar, Vice President Communications and ESG at JazzWorld, underscored the importance of responsible AI deployment and eliminating digital divides. "Language plays a pivotal role in bridging the digital usage gap identified by the GSMA - one in which women are disproportionately represented. Large Language Models can be a powerful enabler in overcoming this barrier, ensuring women's meaningful inclusion in the digital economy." The event reflected JazzWorld's broader ambition to build a comprehensive AI ecosystem spanning platforms, talent, governance, partnerships, and innovation pipelines - accelerating Pakistan's transition toward a high-value, AI-driven digital economy. During the event, JazzWorld showcased the depth of its operational AI capabilities across consumer and enterprise platforms, financial services, cloud infrastructure, digital ecosystems, and next-generation applications through its platforms like JazzCash, Tamasha, ROX, SIMOSA, and the chatbot SIA. The showcase demonstrated how AI is being embedded across multiple segments to enhance decision-making, personalization at scale, operational efficiency, and new value creation. As Pakistan's leading digital services company, JazzWorld reaffirmed its strategic focus on embedding AI as a foundational layer across all platforms and services, enabling smarter systems, scalable innovation, and sustained digital growth.
