U.S.-Nepal ICT Webinar 2025
This virtual event, conducted via Microsoft Teams, aims to deepen bilateral ties and unlock significant investment and collaboration opportunities within the burgeoning Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sectors of both nations.
Strengthening U.S.–Nepal ICT Ties in Nepal’s Digital Decade
Nepal’s digital landscape is experiencing a transformative period, with the Government of Nepal (GON) having declared the upcoming decade as the “Digital Decade.” This visionary initiative aims to position Nepal as a regional ICT hub, with ambitious targets including generating 3 million ICT-related jobs and achieving an impressive NPR 3 trillion (approximately USD 22.5 billion) in ICT revenue over the next ten years.
This webinar serves as a crucial platform to connect key stakeholders, providing U.S. and Nepali ICT companies with invaluable insights into market opportunities, emerging technologies, and sustainable collaborative models. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of:
Demand for U.S. ICT products and services within Nepal.
Government-led digital transformation strategies and initiatives.
Opportunities exist in cutting-edge fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, data centers, and quantum computing.
Support mechanisms for Nepali ICT companies looking to invest and expand their presence in the U.S. market.
Why This Webinar Matters for the Digital Economy?
The robust growth of Nepal’s ICT sector presents compelling advantages for U.S. businesses. By partnering with Nepalese firms, American companies can tap into new avenues for private sector collaborations and government procurements, aligning with Nepal’s strategic push for digital advancement.
Furthermore, recent policy reforms in Nepal now permit private sector investment in foreign markets, including the United States. This significant development opens new doors for Nepali firms to establish U.S. subsidiaries, enhance client support capabilities, and jointly develop innovative technology solutions for the global market.
Key Benefits for U.S. and Nepali ICT Companies:
Market Expansion: U.S. firms can explore new sales channels within Nepal’s dynamic ICT ecosystem, with specific focus areas including:
Advanced Cybersecurity solutions
Robust Cloud and data infrastructure
Pioneering AI & Quantum technologies
