Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunication Syed Aminul Haque on Thursday said that Pakistan was ambitiously working to meet the target of $15 billion worth of IT exports in the next three years.
He was speaking at a panel discussion on “Promoting US-Pakistan Innovation and Investment” at the National Incubation Centre (NIC) Karachi at the NED University of Engineering and Technology.
The minister said that Pakistan’s IT exports reached $2.6 billion in 2021-22 while the target for FY 2022-23 was set at $3 billion and the IT ministry was fully determined to take the figure up to $15 billion in a three-year plan.
Under the Digital Pakistan vision, the IT ministry has taken multiple steps for the promotion of the sector, which resulted in expansion of internet connectivity, broadband and cellular coverage, he said.
