Additionally, he highlighted the alluring incentives offered by the Special Technology Zone Authority (STZA).
Pakistani enterprises exhibit proficiency in specialized domains including Fintech, Healthcare, E-commerce, and other solutions that are highly sought-after worldwide.

According to Mr. Khan, he went on to emphasize the significance of Pakistani IT firms in African markets, especially in fields like Gulf Tech and FinTech. China Economic Net (CEN) reported that Chinese businesses looking to enter these areas may consider collaborating with their Pakistani counterparts.
In response, Pakistani businesses should look to collaborate with Chinese counterparts in order to obtain cutting-edge technologies and resources for research and development.
