Under the present scenario, research and development become more imperative for bringing modernism in products to cope with the new global trends.

For this purpose Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) would provide fund amounting to 0.13 million Euro as a matching grant to Royal Institute of Technology as matching grant.
The role of Swedish government would be instrumental in establishment of the proposed university and collaborate in providing the technical know-how. The Swedish government would also provide necessary assistance in formulation of faculties of the proposed engineering university of Sialkot.
The establishment of engineering university would be an addition and gift of the government for the future generations of this export-oriented city and hub of cottage industries of the country.
