Lahore: A Start-up company ‘Screen It’ has signed an agreement with a German firm, under which taxis operating in Lahore will display digital advertisements, a news source reported. This agreement falls under Pakistan Information Technology Board (PITB)’s Plan Nine project.
According to the agreement, the German firm will provide Screen It with funding worth USD 2.5 million. The latter will use these funds to begin the project of running digital advertisements on the rear windscreens of taxis running in the city.
