Pakistan has \u201claunched\u201d its first Google<\/a> Chromebook assembly line, which should help provide cheaper Google-based laptops for students and professionals in the local market. In reality, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has only announced plans<\/em> for a Google Chromebook assembly line, but is calling it a \u201claunch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement came from a ceremony in Islamabad on Tuesday, where Dar described the \u201claunch\u201d as a \u201cmomentous occasion\u201d for Pakistan\u2019s technology sector, saying the local assembly of Chromebooks would make digital devices more affordable and accessible, especially for students and the education sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new assembly line, based at the National Radio & Telecommunications Corporation NRTC\u2019s Haripur facility, will produce up to 500,000 Chromebooks annually by 2026. These devices will be high-quality, secure, and affordable, and tailored specifically for educational and public sector use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chromebook Assembly Line at NRTC Haripur will spur local manufacturing, supply chain development, and industrial capacity, directly supporting the Prime Minister\u2019s Digital Nation Pakistan Vision and National AI Policy objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar said the move goes beyond education, since it will also help create new jobs, strengthen supply chains, and lay the foundation for future technology exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dar highlighted that Google\u2019s presence will enable closer collaboration with Pakistani startups and entrepreneurs, providing capacity building and better access to global platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google to Train 100,000 Developers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under a new memorandum of understanding (MoU), Pakistan and Google will also work together to train 100,000 developers nationwide. In addition, both sides will advance AI-powered localized solutions, including Android-based services for public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deputy prime minister reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment for global tech companies, saying Pakistan\u2019s policy aims to make the country a regional hub for technology development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also noted the government\u2019s efforts to rationalize taxes to attract more investment in the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
