Pakistan Upskilling for Digital Economy Growth through UK-Pakistan Tech Collaboration
Published on 6.2.25
Pakistan's digital skills development initiative has gained momentum with the collaboration of key stakeholders. The British High Commission's visit to Abacus's BPO office in Lahore is a significant step towards strengthening UK-Pakistan technology and economic ties.
The GIK Institute, a leading institution for science and technology education in Pakistan, has been at the forefront of this initiative. In partnership with KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency), the institute has launched various programs aimed at developing the country's digital skills. These initiatives include training sessions, workshops, and certification courses to equip students with industry-relevant expertise.
Abacus, a leading BPO company in Pakistan, has also been actively involved in this effort. CEO Fatima Asad-Said sees immense potential for collaboration between the two countries' 'powerhouses of talent and innovation'. The company's partnership with the British High Commission is expected to further boost digital skills development in Pakistan.
This strategic alliance has the potential to drive economic growth, create jobs, and foster innovation in both countries.
