ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ne Jumerat ko jari apni saalana report mein kaha ke Pakistan Global Innovation Index 2026 mein chaar darje behtari ke saath 139 maeeshaton mein 95veen number par aa gaya hai aur us ne innovation ke maidan mein "overperformer" ka darja dobara hasil kar liya hai.
2025 mein Pakistan 99veen number par tha. WIPO "overperformer" ka darja un maeeshaton ko deta hai jo apni taraqqi ki satah ke lihaz se tawaqqo se behtar karkardagi dikhati hain, aur Pakistan ne yeh darja ab chauthi baar hasil kiya hai, is se pehle 2022 aur 2024 mein bhi use yeh darja mila tha.
Digital maeeshat sab se aage
Pakistan ne innovation ke nataij mein wasail ke muqable mein behtar karkardagi dikhayi, nataij mein 72veen aur wasail mein 121veen number par raha, aur donon mein pichhle saal ke muqable mein behtari aayi. WIPO ne kaha ke mulk ki taqat digital maeeshat mein markooz hai, khaas taur par mobile apps banane, ICT services ki exports, high-tech imports aur software par akhrajat mein, jise "nisbatan mazboot" science ki paidawar aur universities ke mayar ka sahara hasil hai.
Report mein kaha gaya, "2026 ke overperformers yeh zahir karte hain ke maeeshatein apni makhsoos khoobiyon par ustuwar ho kar apni taraqqi ki satah se tawaqqo se zyada innovation paida kar sakti hain."
Index mein shamil 36 lower-middle-income maeeshaton mein Pakistan 15veen aur wasti o janoobi Asia ki 11 maeeshaton mein aathwein number par raha. Yeh kisi aik sutoon, jaise insani sarmaya aur tehqeeq ya bunyadi dhancha, mein sar-e-fehrist mulkon mein shamil nahin tha, jis se andaza hota hai ke aainda behtari kahan se aani hogi.
