Scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important in this era and to succeed in this highly information based technological society, it is necessary for students to develop their tech capabilities at an early age. Keeping in view the importance of technology in this era the government of Pakistan is continuously making efforts to bring investments to support the technology sector in the country. Pakistan recently signed a $500 agreement with South Korea for executing various technology and other projects in the country.

Moreover, Pakistan in partnership with the United Kingdom has launched an initiative to establish a tech corridor to promote economic growth between the countries.
