iTANZ Technologies Limited, a Pakistan Stock Exchange-listed technology company with an established international footprint, is exploring opportunities to contribute its global smart-city and digital transformation experience to Pakistan's evolving digital infrastructure landscape.
As part of this strategic initiative, Syed Asim Zaffar, Chief Executive Officer of iTANZ Technologies Limited, met Dr. Sohail Munir, Chairperson - Pakistan Digital Authority (PDA), at the PDA Headquarters in Islamabad to gain a deeper understanding of Pakistan's emerging policy, regulatory and institutional framework for smart-city digital infrastructure and national digital transformation.
Engagement with Pakistan Digital Authority
Syed Asim Zaffar was accompanied by Aamer Khan, Chief Growth Officer MEA Region, iTANZ Technologies, and Sanie Khan, Executive Director, Floret Capitals.
The engagement provided an opportunity to discuss Pakistan's broader Digital Nation vision, including the development of a connected digital ecosystem spanning Digital Society, Digital Economy, Digital Governance and the secure digital infrastructure required to enable them.
Digital Nation and Smart-City Infrastructure
During the discussion, Dr. Sohail Munir outlined the role of the Pakistan Digital Authority in shaping and coordinating Pakistan's digital transformation, including the development of the National Digital Masterplan, stronger data governance and the creation of secure, interoperable digital infrastructure capable of supporting citizen-centric digital services at scale.
The conversation was particularly relevant to iTANZ's strategic interest in Pakistan's emerging smart-city ecosystem. The company brings experience from international markets, including its work with the local government and public-sector technology ecosystem in Australia, where its solutions support digital transformation, city and council operations, data-driven services and technology modernisation.
Global Experience with Local Capability
According to company information, iTANZ's smart-city and local-government technology experience extends across 22 local government jurisdictions in Australia, providing the company with practical exposure to the technology, integration and operational requirements involved in building more connected and digitally enabled public services.
A significant element of iTANZ's international delivery model is supported by Pakistani technology professionals and development talent, connecting locally developed expertise with technology projects serving international markets.
Supporting Pakistan's Digital Transformation Journey
For iTANZ, the engagement with PDA represents an important step in understanding how its international experience, technology capabilities and smart-city solutions could align with Pakistan's national priorities, regulatory direction and future digital infrastructure requirements.
The meeting reflects iTANZ's broader ambition to become an active private-sector participant in Pakistan's digital transformation ecosystem and to explore ways in which internationally proven experience can support the country's journey toward more connected, efficient, secure and citizen-focused digital cities and public services.
