AllWorld Network announced the Pakistan winners of the Arabia500+Turkey, a ranking of the fastest growing young companies in the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey and Pakistan. A significant number of companies are IT based with worldwide growing business. In January 2011, 10 IT companies amongst AllWorld Network Pakistan Fast Growth 25.

Each Pakistan entrepreneur on the ranking has grown an average of 40 percent annually between 2008 and 2010, created an average of 200 jobs per company, and is succeeding in industries from web technology to transportation, food to textiles, and construction to consulting. With average of only 42 years old, nearly all of them plan to establish another entrepreneurial venture in the next two years.

The fastest growing company from Pakistan, E2E Supply Chain Management, grew at 1,918 percent between 2008 and 2010, with revenues above $50 million and 297 employees. Of the Arabia500 winners from 15 countries, E2E was the third fastest growing.

Companies from around the country were invited to apply, and thousands of application emails went out from Pakistan 100 partners Mishal, P@SHA, LadiesFund, TiE and prior Pakistan 25 winners including Exceed, Abacus, Rozee.pk, E2E, and Sofizar, City University and Corvit Networks.

“Pakistan is open for business. Pakistani entrepreneurs are defying widespread misperception about our country and building world-class enterprises that are globally competitive,” official statement quoted Pakistan 100 Founding Director Malik Ahmad Jalal added on the occasion.

“Pakistan Fast Growth entrepreneurs show that the best bet for the country’s economic future is relying on the entrepreneurial spirits of its citizens,” he added.

Pakistan has always had a great potential. This is why Pakistanis do so well in foreign countries when they are supported by a good system. Our biggest weakness has been lack of leadership. When Pakistan gets good leadership, it will be unstoppable. INSHALLAH.
