Thank You
The Future Leaders Award 2026 concluded successfully, and we want to thank everyone who made it possible.
A Message of Thanks
Special thanks to Umair Nizam of ITCN for his support throughout.
We also thank Syed Abdul Qadir. Although he could not join us in person as he was in Sri Lanka representing Pakistan at the Global CIO event, his support meant a lot to us.
Our sincere appreciation to all the judges for their time and effort in the evaluation process, with special thanks to Hussain Hassan Ali.
A special appreciation to Team Maahir for their hard work in making this event a success.
Thank you to everyone who supported, participated, and believed in the Future Leaders Award.
