Faisal Yousaf, Chairman of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), emphasized the transformative goals of the BizLinks initiative, aiming to enhance Pakistan’s digital presence. Yousaf shared these insights during a progress review meeting held on Monday, where he highlighted BizLinks as PITB’s latest venture, strategically partnering with private sector tech leaders to bolster the nation’s digital footprint and IT exports.
Since its launch in May 2023, BizLinks has evolved into a pivotal platform for collaborative engagement, forming solid partnerships through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). Key organizations, including Infocomm Technologies, Punjab Board of Investment and Trade (PBIT), and AlphaBold, have joined forces with PITB to explore business opportunities on a national and global scale.
Yousaf stressed the significance of public-private collaboration in advancing IT exports, foreseeing its potential to attract Foreign Direct Investment, enhance Punjab’s technological capabilities, and elevate the overall profile of the province. The initiative marks a substantial stride toward digital transformation and global cooperation. Importantly, PITB flagship products, including e-Pay Punjab, Ease of Doing Business (EoDB), e-FOAS, e-Stamping, and the School Information System (SIS), have been integrated into the BizLinks initiative.
