LAHORE: The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and Pakistan Tech Forum (PTF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote technology-driven business growth, entrepreneurship, investment and access to international markets for Pakistani businesses.

Speaking on the occasion, Saigol said Pakistan’s technology sector had significant potential to contribute to exports, investment, employment generation and sustainable economic growth.
