To develop IT industry in the country agreements are being undertaken with the international companies, said Yusuf Hussain, Managing Director, Pakistan Software Exports Board (PSEB) at a media workshop at ITCN Asia EXPO centre Karachi.
“We are in Pakistan as we see great potential and opportunities in the software industry of this country,” said Tony Murphy author of “Succeeding in Knowledge Economy”.
