LAHORE, Pakistan – The Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) Pakistan is proud to announce that our Global Coordinator, Mr. Safeer ul Haq, has been recognized as a recipient of the CXO Global 100 Entrepreneur Award for 2026. This distinction celebrates his lifelong dedication to fostering innovation and his tireless work in strengthening the entrepreneurial fabric of the region.
The ceremony was held on January 15, 2026, at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). In a moment that bridged two generations of impactful leadership, the award was presented by Dr. Amjad Saqib, the esteemed founder of the Akhuwat Foundation. The meeting of these two leaders underscored a shared commitment to social uplift and economic empowerment through grassroots entrepreneurship.
With a career spanning over twenty years, Mr. Safeer ul Haq has become a cornerstone of the Pakistani business community. While many recognize him for his strategic roles and his success as a CEO of a global technology firm, his true impact is felt through his mentorship and his vision for a connected startup ecosystem. As Global Coordinator for GEN Pakistan, he has consistently championed the idea that business success should be measured not just by profit, but by the opportunities created for others.
Under his guidance, his ventures have expanded far beyond national borders, proving that Pakistani innovation can compete on the global stage. Yet, despite his international reach, Safeer remains deeply rooted in the mission of youth empowerment. He continues to devote his time to initiatives that equip the next generation with the skills and confidence needed to navigate an evolving digital economy.
This latest accolade from CXO Global is a reflection of a career built on integrity and excellence. For the GEN Pakistan community, this award is also a celebration of the values Safeer embodies every day: resilience, collaboration, and a belief in the transformative power of the entrepreneurial spirit.
We congratulate Safeer ul Haq on this well deserved honor and look forward to his continued leadership as we work together to shape a more prosperous future for entrepreneurs across Pakistan.
