As a part of the global evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the landscape has also changed in Pakistan. There are 133.3 million mobile phone users with 29.5 million having access to 3G/4G connectivity. Internet connectivity and access to smartphones have opened new horizons to the young generation. A great number of our youth are now resorting to freelancing as a reliable and permanent source of employment and the new entrants to the freelancing markets from the KP are ever on rise. We are also witnessing success stories coming out of the startup IT businesses in KP through expansion of their product-line, generating employment (team expansions) and considerable raise in revenue. Startup businesses have transformed into growth-stage businesses. Foreign companies are outsourcing their businesses processes to companies or their own branch offices in the KP. The local conventional businesses and industry sectors are getting transformed and dependent on IT enabled services, thereby adding to the client-pool available to the IT companies for further business opportunities. One of the strategic objectives of the KPITB is to multiply such success stories in the KP and expand the growth corridors through subsidies, capacity building, bridging the skill-gap, and incentivizing investments in the very diverse range of IT-enabled business.

We strongly believe that IT-lead businesses are the only quick and stable form of intervention that can enable the government address the issue of youth employment.
