Pakistan’s Supernet goes global, sets up Dubai as regional hub

Supernet, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telecard, has announced its rebrand to SupernetGlobal, alongside a strategy to expand selectively into high-growth international digital markets across the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. “The move comes as ICT spending across the Middle East and Africa exceeds $230–250 billion annually, driven by large-scale government digitalisation, cybersecurity investment, cloud adoption, and enterprise modernisation,” the listed company said in a statement. The company shared that cybersecurity spending alone across the said region is projected to rise into the tens of billions of dollars over the coming decade. “In parallel, the global satellite communications market, a core Supernet strength, is valued at $90–108 billion in 2024–25 and is forecast to grow significantly by 2030, with Middle East satellite revenues expected to exceed $5 billion by the end of the decade,” it said.
