Pak-Austria Fachhochschule Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology, Haripur

PAF Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (IAST) is a joint initiative with leading Austrian and Chinese universities. Together, we strive to uplift Pakistan’s technical education to international standards. Despite the challenges faced by developing nations, we pursue excellence in engineering and technology education. These global benchmarks evolve rapidly, often outpacing our economic growth. Yet, we remain committed to bridging this gap through innovation and strategic collaboration. Moreover, we recognize the urgent need to connect education with employment.

By producing skilled professionals, we attract both local and foreign technological investments. Consequently, this fosters the growth of indigenous high-tech industries. An integrated technology park serves as the core of our forward-thinking approach. This facility supports innovation, development, and entrepreneurial ventures in key industrial sectors.

However, this vision cannot materialize without skilled engineers and a strong tech-based industry. Therefore, we must build a robust infrastructure to support diverse and rapidly growing industrial enterprises. A broad, high-tech industrial base is essential for sustained national progress and global competitiveness.
