LAHORE: TLahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has organised second conference on ‘International Business Challenges and Successes’ at the LCCI.
LCCI President Ijaz A Mumtaz, Senior Vice-President Mian Nauman Kabir, Vice-President Mahmood Ghaznavi, Interwood Chief Executive Officer Omer Farooq, Netsol Technologies Chief Executive Salim Ullah Ghauri and former LCCI president Sohail Lashari were the speakers.
The speakers at the conference said that Pakistan has the potential to ensure growth of business in the country provided if they work with passion, strong will and hard work.
LCCI President Ijaz Mumtaz said the theme of the conference was to let the young and emerging entrepreneurs learn from the knowledge and experience of seasoned international and national business leaders who were running their companies successfully in Pakistan.
He said, “We value our young brains; we have faith on the abilities and talent of our youth. We are confident that they, under the guidance of seniors, can deal with any kind of challenges. It is a need of the hour that young entrepreneurs should be brought into mainstream of business, as it would let them discover their strengths and weaknesses.”
Mumtaz said the country was in dire need of innovative entrepreneurs. “There was no dearth of resources in the country but only thing that has kept it behind in a number of economic sectors is the unawareness about the latest business techniques and methodologies,” he added.
LCCI Senior Vice-President Mian Nauman Kabir said that young entrepreneurs have to be organised for successful business, as it would help them to stay on top of things to be done. He said that almost everywhere in the world, Pakistanis were at the top positions because of their hard work.
