KARACHI, Jan 20: Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) has signed an agreement with a Saudi-based business concern, ZULTRACK International, to market Suparco’s indigenously developed vehicle tracking, fleet management and vehicle navigation systems and related services to the Middle East and East Africa.

According to an announcement from Suparco here on Friday, it will be the first Pakistani organization to provide such indigenously developed services and solutions in the international arena. It has already been providing technical support and services to two leading tracking companies in Pakistan for the past two years.

These commercial activities are being pursued to realise the benefits of its continued research and development activities in different disciplines. Such activities will provide an opportunity to open several new avenues for the Suparco. — APP
