Speaking about the event, Team MITEF Pakistan said,

“Smart City initiatives have existed in the country at a small scale but they have been fragmented. Through Smart City: The Hackathon we aim to join the efforts of all the stake holders to launch a smart city revolution in Pakistan, which will not only make us more efficient as a nation but will also motivate more people to research and work towards smart initiatives.”

The event is to take place from 9th – 11th March at the Arfa Software Technology Park. The Hackathon is targeted towards university students and tech organizations researching and working towards solving some of our city problems though smart initiatives.

Speaking about the backing received from the industry at large, MITEF Pakistan said,

ICT industry in Pakistan has seen an exponential growth since the past few years and the country is going through a digital revolution. Organisations like Telenor have been strenuous in their efforts to make sure the country is at par with the developed nations of the world in the ICT sector.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
