Nepal-US tech ties have expanded in recent years: Thompson

KATHMANDU: US Ambassador to Nepal, Dean R Thompson, has said that tech ties between Nepal and the United States have expanded in recent years.

Speaking at the launch of the Kathmandu office of US-based tech company Veel and the unveiling of its latest products in Kathmandu on Tuesday, Thompson said companies like Veel are demonstrating how Nepal’s growing tech ecosystem is presenting meaningful opportunities for US firms to enhance their core offerings while simultaneously supporting Nepal’s private sector–driven economic growth. “Together, we are unlocking new opportunities for both nations,” Thompson said.

Founded by Nepali-American entrepreneur Dileep Dhakal, Veel provides a platform that links content creators with major global brands. The company offers digital tools designed to help US-based and international creators collaborate more efficiently with brands, improving productivity, profitability, and global reach.

With operations now spread across the United States and Nepal, the company aims to expand its workforce in both countries as demand for creator–brand partnerships increases.
