Establishment
of ‘Industry-academia linkages’ among
stakeholders n University of Gujrat to address cluster-specific matters (i.e.

facilitate to develop linkages and provide in-kind support to the project.
While simultaneously, UOG & UNIDO would arrange a consultative workshop
to build the capacity of the faculty to transfer the ownership of the
concept. It would also strengthen the linkages of the cluster stakeholders and
create the conducive environment for businesses to grow using the UNIDO
cluster development methodology.
