Google has officially opened its office in Pakistan, marking a new step in the technology company’s growing presence in the country. Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated the office in Islamabad on August 18, 2026, during a ceremony attended by a Google delegation led by Vice President Wilson L. White.
The prime minister described the opening as an important step toward a long-term partnership between Pakistan and Google. He said the company’s presence could create new opportunities in the digital sector and help young Pakistanis gain access to modern technology and skills.
White said Google has been investing in Pakistan for more than a decade. He added that the company has contributed more than Rs3.9 trillion to economic activity for Pakistani businesses and households over the past 10 years, while supporting more than 960,000 jobs.
Google has also helped train more than one million Pakistanis through career certificates and programs with schools and teachers. White further announced free one-year Google Gemini subscriptions for students in Pakistan.
The company said it will continue supporting Pakistan’s IT exports through investment in people, local businesses, manufacturing, and digital infrastructure.
