In this blog, Graana.com, Pakistan’s smartest property portal, has comprehensively explained the IT parks in Islamabad.
A technology park, also known as a “science and technology park,” is a location dedicated exclusively to buildings and research facilities that are intended to accommodate businesses involved in science and technology.
It acts as a hub for IT experts where they have access to all the latest tools relevant to their line of work as well as cutting-edge infrastructure to guarantee high-speed connectivity.
The proposed IT park in Islamabad will strengthen the information technology (IT) industry and draw in international investment, according to Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, the incumbent Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication.

Founded in 1995 by the Government of Pakistan the Pakistan Software Exchange Board (PSEB) is helping boost IT exports by training individuals to establish their businesses in the technological era.
PSEB, which is directly under the direction of Pakistan’s Ministry of Information Technology and Communication, has the responsibility of assisting the country’s information technology sector by promoting it both at a national level as well as in global markets.
International marketing, IT facilitation and counseling facilities, data node operations (for enhanced bandwidth services), management of software and technology parks in Pakistan, planning, and structuring of research-based projects, and certification programs are a few of the primary services that PSEB strives for to provide for young IT professionals.
Pakistan Software Exchange Board also coordinates a variety of events and IT awareness programs on both national and international levels.
The organization of such events has proven to be one of the most effective ways to link up local IT experts with global organizations as it not only promotes Pakistan’s IT sector in the global market but is also a vital source of drawing in foreign investors.
To further promote Pakistan’s information technology industry in the most effective manner possible, PSEB works in conjunction with International Trade Associations (ITA) and also collaborates with more than 3000 IT/ITes enterprises located in other regions across the globe.
