LAHORE: FAST Cables, in collaboration with the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), successfully hosted the FAST Forward Sustainable Development Forum—a high-impact event bringing together thought leaders from academia, industry, and civil society to explore the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and industrial transformation in Pakistan.
The event commenced with a welcome address by Dr Syed Irtiza Ali Shah, Principal, School of Interdisciplinary Engineering and Sciences, NUST. He highlighted the essential role of academia in solving real-world challenges and stressed the importance of university-industry collaboration. He also emphasized that sustainability must begin at the individual level, stating,
“In global innovation ecosystems, companies approach universities with real-world problems—and students deliver real-world solutions. That’s what we need to build in Pakistan. Our research must be aligned with the practical needs of industry.”
