Introducing the inventions and discoveries to the industries and later commercializing them, helps universities’ research results reach the public. Companies that license inventions can perform the development, testing, manufacturing, and distribution not available at Universities for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, software, sensors, new fruit and grain varieties, and machines. In quest of the same, Sindh Higher Education Commission conducted a TWO DAY SHOWCASE EXHIBITION at Expo Center Karachi in collaboration with NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi to introduce the inventions and discoveries of teachers and students belonging to Public and Private Sector Universities of Sindh to the prominent industry officials of Sindh / Pakistan. Purpose was to establish industry-academia linkage.
In its own right, it was an extraordinary occurrence. Research and Technology Showcase 2022 attracted a large number of people over its two days because of its focus on cutting-edge solutions to today’s pressing issues. The show featured 340 locally developed technologies from 32 universities across the province. Several of these projects were started in an effort to find solutions to Pakistan’s many pressing problems. Ms. Shahla Raza, Sindh’s provincial minister for women’s development, opened the exhibition. Chief guest at the event was Minister of Universities and Boards, Mr. Muhammad Ismail Rahoo. Sindh HEC plans to hold such exhibitions regularly every year in a hope that the locally developed inventions will not only save our country billions of dollars in imports, but also promote our scholars and inventors at national and international horizon.
