This paper concentrates on the significance of Research and Development (R&D) for economic growth in the developing economy of Pakistan. The paper also questioned the major macro determinants of R&D in Pakistan. The study used time series data for the period 1971-2008. The results obtained from the Ordinary Squares Method showed that R&D significantly affects the Real GDP per capita in Pakistan. Health, labour force , and Physical capital are among the other determinants of Real GDP per capita. The results further show that real GDP per capita and quality of educational institutions are the significant factors which affect R&D. The Johansen Cointegration test confirmed the existence of long run relationship between R&D and economic growth. Similarly, R&D and its determinants were also found in long run relationship. It is therefore recommended to increase investment in R&D to achieve sustained economic growth. It is also recommended to collect and record quality R&D data for effecti...

Purpose-Science and technology parks (STP) are established to facilitate innovation and the rapid development of cutting-edge technologies. The innovation performance of tenants is the primary feature of all successful STPs globally. The purpose of this study is to investigate firms' innovation and economic performance at the National Science and Technology Park (NSTP), Islamabad, Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach-The CDM (the acronym of the three authors' names, Cr epon, Duguet and Mairesse) model following a two-stage approach was used to analyze the survey data of 105 tenants. The innovation performance of tenants was estimated through probit regression at Stage 1, and the economic performance of tenants given their innovation performance was examined at Stage II using Tobit regression and the Heckman model. Findings-The findings suggest that compatibility of innovation with the existing competitive advantage of a firm increases the innovation performance of firms, whereas collaboration of firms with NUST for research and development has only a marginal effect on innovation performance. However, the tenant's business and social networking were weak, possibly due to the short time spent on NSTP. Originality/value-These STPs are expected to be hubs of technology development and transfer by fostering open innovation through internal and external collaborations. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to estimate the innovation performance of tenants at NSTP, the first fully integrated STP in Pakistan. Despite shortcomings, the innovation and economic performance of NSTP tenants warrant further public policy support to inculcate open innovation culture.

At a time of rapid technological advancements in every field, Pakistan must develop a comprehensive strategy for harnessing science and technology to promote economic growth on a sustained basis. In recent decades, successful economies have moved away from factor accumulation models of economic growth to productivity led growth that is underpinned by technological advancements and innovations. Using the endogenous growth theory as a framework of analysis, the paper will provide a macroeconomic perspective on the importance of technology and innovation for sustainable economic growth. We argue that public policy must be geared to generate robust growth by encouraging investment in research and development (R&D) and human capital. The paper will conceptualize the role of technology in the process of economic growth and identify policy areas that can be instrumental in promoting technological modernization and innovations.

essay on pakistan council of science and technology

An article by SciDev.Net.

As they hail Pakistan's first comprehensive national science, technology and innovation (ST&I) policy, the country's science leaders are hopeful of effective implementation and funding.

The 'National Science, Technology and Innovation Policy–2012', launched last month (23 November) with support from the Pakistan Council for Science and Technology and the ministry of science and technology, is expected to help Pakistan emerge as a scientifically sensitive nation.

Describing the policy, at the launch, as "demand-driven and people-centric ", Changez Khan Jamali, federal minister for science and technology, said it was a milestone in Pakistan's self-reliant development strategy.

Jamali said the new policy was focused on improving the quality of life for common people through the creation of a conducive industrial and economic environment.

Pakistan has an ambitious plan to increase its science budget to 1 and 2 per cent of annual gross domestic product spending by 2015 and 2020 respectively, against the present 0.6 per cent.

Akhlaq Ahmed Tarar, secretary in the ministry, told SciDev.Net that he looked forward to "having close to 1 per cent allocation in the 2013 budget."

"The only fuel to make this policy a success is real political and fiscal support, which government is committed to provide – so there are hopes for an innovative and technologically advanced future for Pakistan," Tarar said.

A national policy for ST&I has been in the making since 1960 when the National Science Commission of Pakistan was constituted and tasked with finding ways to promote scientific research.

However, various hurdles stood in the way, the chief among them in more recent years being funding cuts forced by the recession and natural disasters.

The new policy focuses on environment science, biotechnology, energy, water, minerals, ocean-sciences and engineering as critical areas demanding priority.

It recognises innovation as an integral part of the S&T system while emphasising development of human resources, training and education.

Manzoor Soomro, chairman of the Pakistan Science Foundation, an autonomous body under the science ministry, told SciDev.Net that to make the new policy serve the country's socio-economic development better, public-private partnerships and academia-industry linkages would need to be forged.

"Higher Education Commission and the well-developed offices of research, innovation and commercialisation that already maintain R&D links with different public-private organisations, would be the beneficiaries of this policy," Soomro said.

Decarbonizing pakistan’s cement sector: the role of carbon capture and storage (ccs) technologies  †.

essay on pakistan council of science and technology

1. Introduction

Significance of ccs in decarbonizing pakistan’s cement industry, 2. methodology, 4. discussion.

  • Long-term planning, monitoring, development and regulatory support : The government can establish clear and ambitious targets for emissions reduction and CCS deployment within the cement sector along with other industrial sector targets, which should be aligned with national climate goals, such as net-zero emissions, by mid-century. This should involve developing monitoring and reporting mechanisms to track CO 2 emissions, capture rates, and storage integrity. Moreover, this should be supported with robust regulatory frameworks that provide certainty and stability for CCS investments. This includes streamlined permitting processes for CCS projects, clear guidelines for CO 2 storage site selection and operation, and frameworks for liability and monitoring.
  • Role of finance and investment : CCS projects, including those in the cement sector, are capital-intensive due to the costs associated with capturing, transporting, and storing CO 2 . Financial support is essential to bridging the gap between upfront investment costs and long-term operational savings and environmental benefits. This implies the crucial role of various financial instruments, such as direct funds in the form of grants, incentives, and subsidies, and implementing carbon pricing mechanisms, such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems, in creating financial incentives to help offset the high initial costs and encourage early adopters in the cement industry. Similarly, the government should harness the potential of carbon pricing mechanisms such as carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems. CCS projects can generate revenue streams through carbon offset credits or enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. Cement manufacturers can monetize captured CO 2 by selling carbon credits or using CO 2 for EOR, providing additional financial incentives for CCS deployment. These mechanisms encourage industries to reduce emissions and invest in low-carbon technologies like CCS. Governments and international financial institutions can offer risk mitigation instruments, such as guarantees or insurance, to reduce the perceived financial risks associated with CCS investments. This helps attract private-sector capital and facilitates project financing. This includes attracting investments from financial institutions, venture capital firms, and private equity funds that recognize the potential long-term returns from CCS technology development and deployment.
  • International collaboration : Given the techno-economic nature and implications of CCS, it is imperative to engage in international collaboration to share experiences, best practices, and lessons learned from CCS projects in other countries. Participating in knowledge-sharing platforms and partnerships to accelerate technology development and deployment can help build the capacity of human resources. This includes educating engineers, technicians, and policymakers on CCS technologies, operational best practices, and regulatory compliance.
  • Technology innovation and R&D support : This refers to the need to invest in research and development (R&D) to advance CCS technologies tailored to the cement industry’s specific needs. It is critical to support pilot projects and demonstrations to validate technologies and scale them up for commercial deployment.
  • Public–private partnerships : These can help share risks, leverage expertise, and accelerate technology development and deployment. Hence, it remains significant to foster collaboration between government, industry stakeholders (including cement manufacturers), research institutions, and international organizations to allow for the better integration of R&D, policies, regulations and the mobilization of finances and investment.
