Pakistan’s first government-backed Makerspace is set to launch soon in Lahore, marking a major milestone in the country’s drive toward innovation and digital transformation. The initiative is a joint effort by the Planning & Development Board, Government of the Punjab, and the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).
“Makerspace Punjab will serve as a modern innovation hub, providing students, researchers, creators, and entrepreneurs with access to high-end tools and emerging technologies. The facility will support work in areas such as Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), 3D Printing, CNC machining, and more—enabling users to transform ideas into functional prototypes and commercial products.”
The soon-to-launch space is designed to promote hands-on learning and collaboration, while reducing barriers for aspiring innovators across the province. It aims to strengthen Pakistan’s local tech ecosystem by providing affordable, government-supported access to essential fabrication and design equipment.
E-governance specialist Sajid Latif announced the upcoming launch in a recent LinkedIn post, thanking Naeem Rauf, Chairman of the Planning & Development Board, and Faisal Yousaf, Chairman of PITB, for their leadership. He also recognized Ahmad Islam Syan and his team for their work on the project.https://www.linkedin.com/embed/feed/update/urn:li:share:7354133207702790144?collapsed=1
Once operational, the Makerspace will not only act as a launchpad for next-gen products but will also foster a culture of experimentation, creativity, and entrepreneurship in Lahore. The project is expected to become a flagship innovation hub that supports the development of a self-sustaining, tech-driven economy in Pakistan.
