Alhamdulillah - New Chromebook Assembly Line in Pakistan Aimed to Make 500,000 Devices by 2026
As-salamu alaykum - Pakistan’s information ministry announced that a newly opened Chromebook assembly line is expected to produce about 500,000 devices by 2026, a step officials say will help students and create jobs.
Chromebooks run ChromeOS and focus on cloud storage and security, making them useful for study and everyday tasks. The first Google Chromebook assembly line in Pakistan was launched at the National Radio & Telecommunications Corporation (NRTC) facility in Haripur, thanks to a public–private partnership between the Pakistani government, Google, Tech Valley, NRTC and Allied Corporation.
The information ministry said the locally assembled Chromebooks should be more affordable and of good quality, helping students and teachers gain digital skills. It also highlighted that the project will open employment opportunities for local youth.
Officials added that Google’s expanded presence in Pakistan is expected to support the country’s digital economy and innovation. With a local footprint, Google can work more closely with Pakistani developers, startups and entrepreneurs on training and collaboration.
Under a strategic agreement, Pakistan and Google plan to train 100,000 developers across the country and cooperate on localized, AI-powered services, including Android tools for public safety. May Allah make it beneficial for the nation.
