dotCMS, a global leader in content management solutions, is making a bold move into Pakistan, setting the stage for rapid growth across the region. Already trusted by international brands across various industries, dotCMS is now positioning Pakistan as its leading strategic tech hub for Asia.
As part of its commitment to empowering businesses and developers, dotCMS is returning to its open-source roots by offering free access under its Business Source License (BSL) for companies with less than $5 million in total financing. This initiative provides organizations the opportunity to build on a powerful, scalable, and secure platform, enabling them to create seamless digital experiences without the high costs and vendor lock-in of proprietary solutions.
Pakistan’s digital economy is rapidly expanding, with IT exports surpassing $2.18 billion last year and projected to reach $3.5-$3.7 billion by 2025. With 64% of the population under 30, the country has one of the world’s youngest and most tech-savvy workforces, producing over 300,000 IT professionals and 20,000 software graduates annually. Pakistan’s startup ecosystem ranks second in South Asia, with more than 16,000 startups securing over $4 billion in funding, further cementing its role as a rising player in the global technology space.
As businesses across industries modernize, many struggle with outdated content management systems that limit their ability to scale. dotCMS provides a hybrid headless CMS designed to power multi-site platforms, mobile applications, and digital storefronts with unmatched flexibility, security, and full ownership of digital infrastructure.
Speaking on the expansion into Pakistan, Zain Ishaq, CEO of dotCMS, highlighted the country’s growing influence in the global tech landscape.
“Pakistan has some of the most talented developers and entrepreneurs I’ve seen, and a booming digital ecosystem. As a Pakistani leading a global tech company, bringing dotCMS home isn’t just a business move—it’s a commitment to empowering our local tech community to build, scale, and redefine digital experiences. With Asia positioned as a key growth market for decades to come, establishing a base in Pakistan allows us to cover the entire region effectively.”
With over 90% of dotCMS customers in North America and Western Europe, the company has already expanded its presence to Australia, Japan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong, supporting global enterprises with scalable digital solutions. Pakistan’s growing digital ecosystem, skilled workforce, and expanding technology sector make it the ideal base for dotCMS as it looks to extend its footprint across Asia.
