Students asked to focus on entrepreneurship to steer economy out of trouble

ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan needs productive entrepreneurs to create new jobs, introduce new technologies, increase productivity and enhance exports to steer the economy out of current troubles and put it on the path of sustainable growth, said Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) President Muhammad Shakeel Munir.

“Students should focus on entrepreneurship that offers them a prosperous career,” he said while addressing a delegation of Bahria University students, led by Bahria University Islamabad Assistant Director International Office Haroon Khan, on Thursday.

Munir informed the students that the contemporary business skills were essential to succeed in the current competitive business environment.

He also highlighted the importance of political stability for economic stability and said “an environment marked by political instability is not conducive for attracting potential investors to the country”.

He also briefed the students about the working and functioning of ICCI and the initiatives being taken by the chamber to resolve the key issues of business community and promote the interests of businessmen.

The visit was part of the international summer school on the topic of “International Business Skills”, being organised by the Bahria University in collaboration with the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands from August 15-20, 2022.
