Pakistan Sports Industries Development Centre (SIDC), a joint initiative of Small-and Medium-sized Enterprises Development Authority  and Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, plans to establish a facilitation centre to boost the sporting goods sector through the provision of common facilities, services, technology transfer and training.

SIDC is looking for a suitable industrial plot in Sialkot City, Punjab Province. This project will be funded by the Pakistan government’s Public Sector Development Programme. The country exported sports goods worth $348 million between July 2005 and June 2006 compared with $307 million in the corresponding period the previous year.
