STZA Clarifies News About Technology Zones

News Desk

Islamabad: The Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA) on Thursday issued a clarification regarding a news item published in different sections of the media about the establishment of zones in the future.

“The figure attributed to the Chairman STZA in the news item issued on June 1 by some section of media with the headline “STZA to establish five technology zones in different cities: Chairman” was wrong as the number of technology zones to be established soon is 16 as opposed to 60 as inadvertently reported,” an STZA press statement said on Thursday.

The STZA was established to boost Pakistan’s Knowledge Economy through the development of a technology eco-system by leveraging the Triple Helix Model of Innovation, it added.
