The Pakistan government, in collaboration with digital sectors, is urged to transition the industrial economy to a digital economy by adopting China’s model of integrated computing network hubs. This transformation would drive digitalization through technologies such as AI, big data, and blockchain, fostering high-quality development. Establishing national hubs across major cities would enhance the free flow of data, promoting economic growth and supporting national big data strategies.
These efforts are seen as vital to boosting data center development, improving resource efficiency, and enabling innovation in key industries. The government’s role in accelerating infrastructure and green development of the digital economy will be crucial in facilitating this transition.
