Pakistan is preparing to unveil its first Green-Tech Hub (G-TH), a cutting-edge facility aimed at transforming the nation’s energy landscape by promoting green technologies and eco-friendly innovations.
Announced by Prime Minister’s Coordinator on Climate Change Romina Khurshid Alam, the G-TH will incubate startups, promote renewable energy solutions, and reduce carbon footprints.
The hub, supported by the government, private sector, and international green technology leaders, will serve as an innovation center with research labs and collaboration spaces. It aims to establish Pakistan as a regional leader in sustainable innovation, creating green jobs and advancing climate resilience efforts.
Speaking at a webinar hosted by Paklaunch.com, Alam highlighted that G-TH will be showcased at the Pakistan Pavilion during COP29, the global climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, starting November 11, 2024. With over 40,000 attendees from 192 countries expected, Pakistan seeks to attract global investment for its green initiatives.
“The future of technology is green,” Alam said, emphasizing that G-TH will act as a strategic connector between Pakistani innovators and global investors. The hub’s projects align with Pakistan’s environmental sustainability goals and will help accelerate the country’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
Aisha Humera Chaudhary, Secretary of the Climate Change and Environmental Coordination Ministry, echoed these sentiments, stating that the hub will play a crucial role in supporting green energy technologies, from electric vehicles to smart metering systems. She stressed the importance of public-private partnerships and technology transfers to promote green energy use in Pakistan.
With G-TH, Pakistan hopes to create a global narrative of problem solvers, offering innovative solutions to environmental challenges while positioning itself as a capable player in the global green technology arena.
