Participants came from a variety of Pakistani cities as well as France, Malaysia, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. Experts from Pakistan and abroad also offered the researchers helpful advice. Wahaj Siraj served as the conference’s special guest (CEO Nayatel).
On the second day’s Public Policy Forum and Portfolio Development Workshops, eminent speakers discussed Fintech, publishing in journals with high impact factors, and training for incubators.
Scholars, researchers, and practitioners had a rare opportunity to share their perspectives at this conference on how business and innovation can help the world’s nations achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The conference organisers worked incredibly hard to make this event a success, including the Head of Campus (Khusro Pervaiz Khan), the Head of the Department of Management Sciences, the Conference Chair, Secretariat Members, the Organizing Committee, the Marketing Committee, the Administrative Committee, and Faculty Members of the Management Department.
A legislative act passed by the Sindh Assembly led to the establishment of the fully chartered Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST) (Sindh Act No. XI of 1995). The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has approved and acknowledged SZABIST as a degree-granting institution.
With five campuses (including one overseas campus), three diploma centres, three intermediate colleges, and one research centre, SZABIST is now recognised as a significant university. SZABIST has so far conferred more than 6500 degrees.
