Small Act, Big Impact: Nepal’s Tech Industry on the Global Stage
The Tech Peak Nepal: Orlando 2025 roadshow represents a pivotal moment for Nepal’s tech industry. It aims to position Nepal as a major player in the global technology map while attracting international investors, clients, and partners to its burgeoning digital economy.
Why This Roadshow Matters?
Nepal’s IT sector has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, emerging as the country’s leading export contributor. In 2022 alone, IT service exports reached $515.4 million, marking a 64.2% increase from the previous year. The sector now constitutes 1.4% of Nepal’s GDP and accounts for 5.5% of the nation’s foreign exchange reserves.
The roadshow comes at a time when Nepal’s IT exports continue to rise. In the first four months of the current fiscal year, IT service exports generated Rs 6.69 billion, reflecting a 20.28% year-on-year increase. This growth underscores Nepal’s potential as a regional tech hub and a competitive outsourcing destination.
The IT Decade: A Vision for the Future
Recognizing the industry’s potential, the Government of Nepal has designated the period from 2024 to 2034 as the ‘IT Decade’. This ambitious initiative aims to create 1.5 million jobs and achieve IT service exports worth Rs 3 trillion within the next decade.
The Tech Peak Nepal: Orlando 2025 roadshow aligns perfectly with this vision. It provides a platform for Nepali IT firms to showcase their capabilities, forge critical partnerships, and accelerate the nation’s digital transformation.
Why Orlando?
Orlando, Florida, is a hub for prominent global IT and outsourcing events. The Shared Services & Outsourcing Week (SSOW) Conference attracts over 1,000 industry leaders worldwide, making it the ideal platform for Nepal’s IT sector to shine.
The United States, the world’s largest IT market, presents vast opportunities for outsourcing and investment in the digital economy. By participating in this event, Nepali IT firms can connect directly with potential clients, venture capitalists, and decision-makers seeking cost-effective and innovative IT solutions.

Live demonstrations of cutting-edge IT solutions.

Policy Reforms: Empowering Nepali IT Firms
The roadshow coincides with a pivotal time for Nepal’s IT sector. Recent policy changes introduced by the Government of Nepal now allow domestic IT companies to:
• Establish branch offices abroad

• Legally repatriate earnings
These reforms position Nepali firms to operate globally and compete effectively in international markets.
