Abstract - Lead Role of Academia in Economic Development

​

Introduction: Academia can play a pivotal role in meeting the economic challenges by facilitating existing SME at 5 levels, facilitating export lead industry in particular Maize, Sugarcane based 45 Bio Projects as per 30 to 50 years world demand and developing Knowledge Value Chain for local capacity building by benefiting China, G20 Countries.   

 

Achieving 7 to 9% GDP growth:

  1. (Youth – SME – China, G20) Triangle for 5 Level Linkages (Export, Joint Ventures, Technology, Training, Competitiveness) There are 5 Million SME and 5 Million unemployed educated youth. Each university for own alumni.

  2. Role in Setting up SEZ/EPZ in private sector like Sialkot Airport, (Maize, sugarcane-based 45 Bio projects along with knowledge value chain

  3. Taking Expat in Development Loop (5 level linkages with G20, Skills, setting up SEZ in collective SEZ like Sialkot Airport)

  4. Developing Knowledge Shop at Sundar & Knowledge Corridor with China, G20  for import substitution (US $ 8 to 10 Billion), Rural industrialization by benefiting SPARK, TOURCH, 863, etc. programs Developing Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Economy.

 

Implementation Vehicles: Self - Sustainable Public – Private Partnership

  1. Setting up “Industry Resource Center” BKIT (Bank/investment co, Knowledge shop – R&D /University, ICT/IT, Training) under one roof with China, G20 countries for 5 level linkages for ease of doing business.

  2. Biotechnology Centre of Excellence for setting up maize, sugarcane-based bio products clusters/SEZ in private sector & incubation centers.

  3. Knowledge value chain at 4 pillars; 4.0, AI, IoT (Digitalization), Applied research (R&D institutes, Basic research (Academia) Implementation (BDSP, Knowledge shop, Knowledge corridor, LMM)

 

Note: TEC has the track record, physical infrastructure, copyright; BKIT, Knowledge shop, registered with IPO Pakistan, PPP arrangements with federal/ provincial Govt.s, Expatriates’ package, youth internship program with IPC division (80, 300, 500, 1200 graduates).  It’s a matter of scaling up


End results:

Biotechnology Dragon of industrialization

Implementation by self-sustainable PPP  

​

Introduction: The major crops; Maize, Sugarcane, based export led 45 bio projects with local manufacturing of 60 to 80% equipment can make the difference. Since 2005 cotton production is halved the Maize production is doubled.

 

Way forward for Economic & Technological Sovereignty: Harmonizing local potential; Youth, SME, BDSP, Academia, engineering sector and knowledge corridor with China, G20 countries. Implementing by self-sustainable public-private partnership

 

TEC has developed maize, sugarcane based 45 bio projects keeping in view 30 to 50 years world demand along with Chinese, G20 R&D institutes. TEC offers to set up Biotechnology Centre of Excellence by covering the following:

  1. Industry Resource Centre- BKIT (Bank/Finance, Biotechnology/ Engineering, ICT/IT, Training) under one roof for ease of doing business.

  2. Knowledge Value Chain (KVC) at 4 pillar AI, IoT, for (Digitalization), applied research (RDI), basic research (Academia), implementing by BDSP (Business development service providers) & engineering sector

  3. Webinar for top 500 Industrialists, Expats for awareness & implementation

 

Our strengths: 30 years Track Record of setting up New Industry & Upgrading Existing. The 5 Knowledge Products registered with IPO; BKIT, KVC etc. Public-Private partnership with Federal/Punjab Govt. Physical infrastructure at Sundar estate.   

 

End results:

  1. Fast pace wide spread industrialization, job creation, exports

  2. Setting up biotechnology SEZ/STZ like Sialkot airport in private sector for materializing local, foreign & expats investment.

  3. Fully utilizing Youth, SME potential for expanding the industrial base
