The panelists highlighted that how industry and academia could play important role to improve economic performance of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said a news release.
Executive Member, Peshawar Chamber of Small Traders and Small Industries, Adnan Jalil, highlighted that there was a lack of enthusiasm and collaboration between the business community, particularly between SMEs and the academia. Besides, the curriculum imparted in TEVTAs, and other institutes is not at par with the global standards and does not meet the futuristic needs to remain competitive at global scale, he added.
