The project is aimed at providing students with tools and facilities that will enable them to conduct scientific research. It is expected to have far-reaching positive consequences for Pakistan’s science and technology landscape as well as its economy

According to an official aware of the development, the government has allocated a grand total of Rs. 50 million for the project. He went on to state that the requisite feasibility report has been drafted by a company of renown.

Rector COMSATS University Dr. Raheel Qamar stated that the purpose of this park is to advance scientific education among the students. He explained that it would foster an environment of entrepreneurship within the country.

This will naturally create more jobs, which will lead to greater employment rates and ultimately boost the nation’s economy.
