Dr. Syed Hussain Abidi, S.I.

Chairman
Pakistan Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (PCSIR)

It is a great honor for me to extend my heartiest congratulations to the management
and the team of M/s Pegasus Consultancy (Pvt) Ltd., for organizing 20th International
Exhibition of Food & Beverage Processing Technologies & 20th International Plastics &
Packaging Industry Exhibition from 29-31 May 2025 at Expo Center Lahore. No doubt,
M/s Pegasus Consultancy is committed to promote the local industry in achieving and
maintaining the international level of quality of products for global competitiveness.
Research & Development in the fields of Science & Technology is at the heart of a
knowledge society, which every person should aspire to be. A major part of our
economic activity now lies with the so-called knowledge industries and services sector,
which are primarily based on knowledge processes and products.

Pakistan Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (PCSIR) is one of the premier
research and development organizations of the country working under the umbrella of
the Federal Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of Pakistan. PCSIR has a
network of 17 research laboratories/ units including training institutes located all over
the country in Federal as well as all provincial capitals. Several laboratories of PCSIR are
ISO 17025 accredited and some are under the accreditation process. The broad-based
activities of the PCSIR encompass almost the entire industrial sector in the country.
Besides R&D, the council’s laboratories are providing testing & certification services to
almost the entire industrial sector and most of the exportable products are being
tested/ certified by its ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. The thrust areas of PCSIR
research touches nearly all the sectors of the economy including bio-technology,
energy, food & food safety, advanced and composite material, leather, textile, herbal
medicines and value addition in products. Keeping in view the applicability of Science &
Technology in every sphere of human development, present Government is focusing on
encouraging R&D organizations to undertake demand driven research and strengthen
their linkages with the industry as well as the academia, with the objective of resolving
industrial problems, developing new technologies & products, promoting innovation,
commercialization and IP culture in the country.

It is hoped that these initiatives will lead to more productive research that will in turn
generate employment opportunities for skilled manpower and create an environment
for economic growth and cultural maturity.
