SINGAPORE: Tech Valley has received the Award of Appreciation for Excellent Partnership from Google for Education at the Google Partner Summit APAC 2026 in Singapore.
The award was received by Umar Farooq, Founder and CEO of Tech Valley, on behalf of the organisation at one of the region’s major platforms for education technology.
The recognition follows Tech Valley’s collaboration with Google for Education to support digital transformation in public and private sector institutions across Pakistan. Through this partnership, Tech Valley has helped schools, universities, businesses and government bodies adopt modern digital tools, while also training educators, students and professionals to use them effectively.
The organisation has also worked to improve access to technology by helping make affordable Chromebooks available to learners and institutions that need them most.
Tech Valley’s work has placed emphasis not only on access to technology, but also on its effective and safe use. It has promoted the responsible use of artificial intelligence in classrooms and workplaces, and has worked with parents, teachers and children to encourage safer online practices at home and in schools.
According to Tech Valley, the award recognises this combined focus on access, skills and safety.
“This award belongs to every teacher, student, parent and institution that has trusted us to bring technology into their classrooms and homes,” said Umar Farooq, CEO of Tech Valley.
“Our goal has always been simple: technology in Pakistan should be affordable, safe and useful for everyone, not a privilege for a few. Being recognised by Google for Education on a regional stage tells us we are on the right path, and it pushes us to reach further, from cities to the communities that need these tools the most,” he added.
Tech Valley expressed gratitude to Google for Education for its continued trust and collaboration. It also acknowledged the support of its partners in government, academia, industry and civil society, both in Pakistan and globally.
The organisation said it remains committed to building a digitally skilled, safe and future-ready Pakistan.
