Through specialized programs in fundraising, business development, and market access, founders were empowered to refine their ideas, strengthen their business models, and scale effectively.
Beyond local success, NICI startups have also made their mark on the global stage, participating in renowned international platforms such as GITEX, LEAP, and more establishing global connections and showcasing Pakistan’s entrepreneurial potential to the world.
As NIC Islamabad bids farewell to Cohort 2, the center reaffirms its commitment to continue supporting these graduates as they embark on their next phase of growth, expanding into new markets, creating employment opportunities, and positioning Pakistan as a rising hub of innovation and technology.
