Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has officially inaugurated Google’s office in Islamabad, describing the opening as a major milestone in Pakistan’s digital transformation.
The new office represents a deeper connection between Pakistan’s growing technology sector and one of the world’s leading technology companies.
The prime minister called the occasion a great day and said the partnership could create new opportunities across Pakistan’s digital economy.
Google Vice President Wilson L White said the company’s goals closely align with the prime minister’s ambition to transform Pakistan into a $30 billion IT export hub.
He said Google has been investing in Pakistan for more than a decade and remains committed to expanding its support.
According to Wilson, Google has contributed more than Rs3.9 trillion to economic activity for Pakistani businesses and households over the past ten years, while supporting more than 960,000 jobs.
Google has already supported digital skills development in Pakistan, with Wilson saying the company has helped more than one million Pakistanis gain new skills through career certificates and initiatives involving schools and teachers.
The Google executive stressed that Pakistan’s digital transformation would depend heavily on investment in human resources, particularly as demand for technology skills continues to grow worldwide.
Google has announced that all students in Pakistan will receive free one year subscriptions to Google Gemini, giving young people access to an advanced artificial intelligence tool for learning and developing digital skills.
The initiative is designed to help students explore emerging technologies while building capabilities that could become increasingly valuable in education and future careers.
