Lahore: The Punjab government has decided to establish a technology park in Lahore in order to develop the province’s information technology (IT) sector, news sources reported. The initiative is called “Technology Pura,” and it will be financed with USD 25 million.
The said venture, according to sources, will be constructed along the same lines as Silicon Valley in California. In this regard, laws and regulations will be streamlined to ensure that youth, entrepreneurs, and businesspeople get the most out of the initiative. The provincial government has allocated funding for the initiative, and consultants will be engaged soon to assess and analyse the viability of the technological zones.
