ISLAMABAD: The Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA) Thursday issued a clarification regarding a news item published in different sections of the media about establishment of zones in future.
“The figure attributed to the Chairman STZA in the news item issued on June 01 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 sixteen (16) as opposed to sixty (60) as inadvertently reported,” an STZA news release said on Thursday.
The STZA was established to boost Pakistan’s Knowledge Economy through the development of a technology ecosystem by leveraging the Triple Helix Model of Innovation, it added.
