LUMS Live Session 51:
The Digitalization of Pakistani Economy: Role of Local Software Industry

November 5, 2021 4:00 pm PST LUMS

Watch Webinar

About

In the current age, digitalization can be easily compared to industrialization in what would be its eventual impact on economic and social institutions. In the past, most developed countries have invested a lot of effort and finance into digitalization that is now paying huge dividends. The current pandemic has in fact accelerated the progress and tech start-ups represent a new wave of entrepreneurship, which, if appropriately harnessed, can improve the overall outreach of the services in Pakistan’s software industry. The growth has been exponential, and the biggest challenge now is how the local software industry can work with the government to improve the overall digitalization process and streamline the country’s economy.

Tune in to listen to our panelists discuss the challenges and opportunities for start-ups and how they can play a major role in helping Pakistan strive ahead in the 21st century.
