IT experts, analysts, and industrialists have called for the immediate establishment of software technology zones (STZs) and software technology parks (STPs) in Karachi to strengthen its position as a technology hub and boost IT and IT-enabled services (ITeS). Despite being the country’s economic engine, Karachi lacks both STZs and STPs, unlike Lahore and Islamabad.
They urged government organisations, including the Special Technology Zone Authority (STZA) and Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), to take concrete steps toward establishing such facilities instead of merely planning them.
