ISLAMABAD, Nov 03 (APP): The Influencer & Innovation Awards 2025 celebrated Pakistan’s fast-rising digital talent and young innovators at the Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA), Islamabad, the other day.
The ceremony was organized to honour youth excelling in entrepreneurship and digital creativity, bringing together students, content creators, and social media changemakers who are actively reshaping Pakistan’s global digital footprint.
Parliamentary Secretary for Information & Broadcasting, Barrister Danyal Chaudhry, attended the awards night as the Chief Guest. He praised the energy and innovation of Pakistan’s younger generation in a powerful keynote address.
Sharing his experience from a recent Young Entrepreneurs showcase, Barrister Danyal said he was “amazed to witness the creativity and resilience of children as young as fourth, fifth and sixth graders, working with a positive mindset and proving that no other nation matches the potential of Pakistani youth.”
He also highlighted the transformation of social media into a defining platform for communication and opportunity. But he warned that Pakistan missed the early development process of digital ecosystems, resulting in “negativities and adverse effects that must be confronted carefully.”
As the government’s spokesperson on information and broadcasting, he urged young citizens to avoid toxic online behaviour. “Our youth must distance themselves from negativity, propaganda and the abusive culture growing on social media,” he emphasized.
Barrister Danyal stressed that nations rise on constructive thinking, not destructive behaviours. “The real face of Pakistan is the talent we are witnessing here today .This is what will lead Pakistan forward,” he said, receiving an enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Throughout the night, emerging voices of Pakistan’s digital sphere were recognized for their ideas, leadership and positive influence. The influential award-winners pledged to continue contributing toward a creative and responsible digital ecosystem.
The event concluded with inspiring performances, group photographs, and collective expressions of pride in Pakistan’s thriving innovation culture.
