Federal Minister for Science and Technology, Dr. Umar Saif, made a resolute pledge on Saturday to uplift this vital segment of Pakistan’s workforce.

This program aims to foster entrepreneurship within the technology sector, providing aspiring tech entrepreneurs with the necessary financial support to kickstart their ventures.
Dr. Saif stressed the importance of providing comprehensive guidance to individuals embarking on new businesses within the technology field. Recognizing the potential of technological innovation, he highlighted plans for collaboration with universities nationwide to establish innovation centers. These centers are poised to serve as hubs for nurturing talent, fostering collaboration, and driving technological advancement across various sectors.
Additionally, Minister Saif reaffirmed his commitment to expanding high-speed internet accessibility to additional cities and rural areas through collaborative efforts with investors. By enhancing internet infrastructure, the government aims to create a conducive environment for innovation and economic growth, ensuring that no community is left behind in the digital age.
