Telenor Pakistan has recently held the country’s first Google DevFest in collaboration with Google Developer Groups (GDG) Islamabad.
Google DevFests are large, global, community-run events that offer speaker sessions across multiple product areas, all-day hackathons, codelabs, and more.
The Islamabad event featured product demos and talks on the future of digital innovation, Firebase, Telenor Appbox, Design Sprint, Women in Tech & other technologies across web, cloud and mobile platforms for students, professionals and educators.
The Pakistani community is tending more to be a consumers’ society and it is about time to develop a digital ecosystem in the country. These sponsored communities of techies and coders who work together to promote learning and development could help achieve this goal much faster.
