The Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), under the Ministry of IT and Telecom, has opened bookings for the Islamabad IT Park ahead of its scheduled launch on 14 August.
The Ministry of IT and Telecommunications had announced the state-of-the-art facilitiy, spanning 720,000 square feet. The facility is being promoted as the country’s most advanced IT infrastructure.
It is designed to host over 120 IT and IT-enabled services (ITeS) companies, including established exporters and early-stage startups.
The multistorey park includes two basements, a ground floor and nine upper levels, with dedicated office spaces, a startup incubation centre comprising 15 units, and access to legal, marketing and financial advisory services.
A key feature is Pakistan’s first Tier III Data Centre, built on international standards, providing robust data security and uninterrupted operations for resident firms.
To foster innovation and industry-academia collaboration, the park will also host an industry-academia linkage centre, R&D labs, virtual training zones, and business facilitation centres aimed at skill development and talent pipeline enhancement.
Located in the capital, the facility positions Islamabad as a strategic destination for digital foreign direct investment.
The initiative is being supported by stakeholders including the Ministry of IT and Telecom, the Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA), and the Pakistan Freelancers Association.
A similar project is planned near Karachi airport to expand the national digital infrastructure.
