The government is taking proactive measures to significantly escalate this figure. Dr. Saif emphasizes the critical role of securing investment funding and establishing collaborative workspaces within private enterprises to ensure the success of this expansive strategy. Success in this endeavor has the potential to notably enhance Pakistan's economy.
