CDA to set up ‘biggest IT park’

By Ali Imran

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to create the country’s biggest Information Technology Park (IT Park) through a public-private partnership.
With the approval of CDA Board, a plot measuring 3.3 acres has been allocated in Sector G-10 for the IT Park, which would be a unique project of its kind.
The plot would have a total covered area of 100,000 square feet, where 5,000 to 6,000 freelancers would be able to work simultaneously.
The IT Park would have a working space for freelancers and startups, software houses, a library, and a research centre. Private IT companies would bear the expenses of the construction of the IT Park, which would also have their offices on rent.
