The Sanober Institute officially launched with its inaugural session in October 2023, marking the beginning of its mission to promote informed dialogue, policy research, and intellectual engagement. Bringing together distinguished experts from the fields of geopolitics, academia, and public policy, the event provided a platform for meaningful discussions on the most pressing challenges confronting Pakistan and the wider South Asian region. As the Institute’s first flagship event, it laid a strong foundation for fostering evidence-based policy discourse and innovative solutions to regional and global issues.
