AllWorld's mission is to create one million jobs by 2015 by advancing the growth entrepreneurs of the emerging world and creating the next economy of ideas and jobs.

Commenting on behalf of AllWorld Network, its cofounders Anne Habiby and Deirdre Coyle said that "the Pakistan Fast Growth 25 was the most successful program in the history of AllWorld and broke all records in terms of the number of companies that applied and the growth rate of those companies. We are honored to be working with the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, JS Bank Limited, and our other partners to put Pakistan's growth entrepreneurs on the global radar screen."

"Supporting entrepreneurship is an important goal of the U.S. government, and we are proud to have played a role in helping the Pakistan 25 come to life, said U.S. Charge d'Affairs in Pakistan Stephen Engelken.  "The Pakistan 25 will create an entrepreneurship path for other entrepreneurs to follow and will send a message around the world that Pakistan is open for business."
