Karachi (Web Desk): In the presence of Sindh Governor Syed Muhammad Nihal Hashmi and Federal Minister for IT Shiza Fatima, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between NED University and the Pakistan Software Export Board.
The Sindh governor said Pakistan’s digital future is linked to modern technology and the capabilities of its youth. He said the collaboration between NED University and the Pakistan Software Export Board is an important step toward developing the semiconductor sector in the country.
He said effective links between universities and the technology industry are essential for equipping young people with modern skills. The Semiconductor Education and Research Center will provide youth with advanced training and research opportunities.
