KARACHI (AFP) - Pakistan launched a three-day Information Technology exhibition aimed at boosting exports of software products, officials said.
“The exhibition is a means to promote Pakistani software industry exports and we are hopeful of a rise from last year’s 700 million dollars,” state-run Board of Investment’s secretary Wasim Haqqi said Saturday.
Software products from more than 20 countries, a majority of them from Southeast Asia, are on display at the Expo center in this port city.
Pakistan is an emerging market of skilled software engineers in the region where an estimated 1.5 million jobs are currently being outsourced to the United States and Europe.
