ICCI President Nasir Mansoor Qureshi noted that global markets are rapidly transforming due to technology, and Pakistan cannot afford to lag behind.

He assured that ICCI will continue to advocate for policies that encourage digital transformation and help local businesses stay aligned with international standards.
Highlighting the role of advanced engineering solutions, Qureshi said that Pakistan needs to build strong human capital equipped with skills in artificial intelligence, robotics, and Industry 4.0.
