The Digital Youth Summit (DYS) is a tech conference and start-up expo that takes place annually in Peshawar, Pakistan. Since its inception in 2014, DYS has quickly become one of the premier tech conferences in Pakistan. The summit aims to bring together “the next generation of digital innovators in Pakistan” and typically attracts three key audiences: tech industry leaders from Pakistan and abroad, the nascent start-up community; and young people looking to network, learn, and be inspired. The summit, therefore, draws participants from the private sector, investors, government, civil society, youth groups, and academia. DYS is a joint initiative of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the World Bank along with key local community and academic partners.
