Lahore Garrison University Unveils Plan for a $500 Billion Innovation Economy

Silicon Valley is most likely the greatest creation of wealth in human history. The $3 Trillion community homes half of 143 tech billionaires on the planet.

Fredrick Terman– Father of Silicon Valley, a dean at Stanford– encouraged his students, William Hewlett and David Packard in the 1940s to begin a company at the school. Federal government financing (for defense projects), academic research study & & massive success of Fairchild Semiconductor activated a chain reaction that caused the creation of Silicon Valley.

Dr Olaf J. Groth, Professor of Global Method & & Development at Hult International Business School and Dr Mark Esposito, Teacher of Organisation and Economics at Harvard University, in a report for World Economic Online Forum, Proposed Entrepreneur-Driven Development Environment (EDIE) for stagnant European Economic growth.

They composed that “EDIE can help move Europe’s early-stage entrepreneurial activities towards a model of dynamic and systemic intervention led by value-seeking business owners as disruptive change agents”. EDIE structure supplies a jumpstart to Startup Ecosystem– that’s what Pakistan needs.

We need these disruptive idea leaders and frameworks in Pakistan– the Sixth biggest country– to climb up the Worldwide Competitiveness & & Innovation Indexes. I have actually Co-Founded one such platform– Center for Global Innovators that brings EDIE to Pakistan– to assist develop next ‘Silicon Valley’ here.

For Global Innovators is one of the largest Incubation service companies in Pakistan with four incubation programs in Islamabad, Lahore & & AJK. Across 200 Universities, 1.46 M Trainees enlist every year. The state of Pakistan needs 2M tasks each year whereas public & & economic sectors can’t fulfill this need. Self-employment is the method forward.

Post COVID-19 world economy will be deglobalized, with decline in remittances and exports– Pakistan needs to accept Innovation Economy for much faster economic healing.
