ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – April 7, 2026 – Tech Valley Pakistan, a premier Google for Education Partner in Pakistan , has formalized a strategic collaboration with the Islamabad University of Health Sciences and Emerging Technologies (IUHT). Guided by a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), this partnership aims to pioneer the digitalization of higher education across IUHT’s campuses in Islamabad and Sialkot. While Tech Valley has successfully established three Centers of Excellence in primary and secondary schools across the country, this collaboration represents a major milestone. It will result in the creation of the very first university-level Gemini Corner in alignment with the Higher Education Department (HED) to empower students and faculty with Google’s next-generation digital tools.
To build a technology-enabled, student-centered learning environment aligned with international academic standards, IUHT will provide the necessary infrastructure including Google Chromebooks, Chrome Education Upgrades (CEUs), and Google Workspace licenses to its students. To ensure the ecosystem is sustainable, Tech Valley will provide professional development workshops for IUHT faculty.
To create a truly future-ready learning environment, the initiative introduces Gemini for Google Workspace across both campuses. By putting advanced AI tools directly into the hands of students and faculty, the partnership aims to elevate academic research, enrich the daily learning experience, and seamlessly streamline university operations. Beyond the classroom, the program also provides the IUHT community with access to Google Career Certificates scholarship program, ensuring that students graduate with the practical, market-aligned digital skills they need to thrive in the modern workforce.
“Bringing our first Gemini Corner to the university level is a massive step forward in our mission to bridge the digital divide in Pakistan,” said Umar Farooq, CEO Tech Valley Pakistan. “Along with ensuring access to affordable ‘Made in Pakistan’ devices, we’re fully immersing students and faculty in the Google ecosystem. By putting powerful AI tools right into their hands and backing that up with Google Career Certificate scholarships, we are ensuring that this digital transformation translates into real, job-ready skills for the modern workforce.”
“True digital transformation requires the seamless integration of modern tools that actively enhance how our students think, research, and create,” said Prof. Dr. Shahid Mehmood Baig, Vice Chancellor IUHT. “By establishing this Gemini Corner and placing cutting-edge AI into the hands of our academic community, we are building a dynamic, future-ready learning environment. Our goal is to ensure that IUHT graduates step into the prdofessional world not just familiar with these technologies, but fully empowered to lead with them.”
The comprehensive engagement also integrates technical resources into IUHT’s incubation center, fostering student-led innovation and entrepreneurship. By adopting these advanced Google for Education technologies, IUHT continues to establish itself as a forward-thinking institution committed to preparing its students for the digital economy.
