KP Impact Challenge'18

National Incubation Center Lahore is the most comprehensive experiential development platform for startups in Pakistan.

LUMS through its School of Education (SoE) and National Incubation Center Lahore (NIC) is implementing the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Challenge (KPIC), with the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP) to enable youth, particularly women and rural youth, to set up and run enterprises and attain a sustainable livelihood.

KP Impact Challenge is an initiative of the KP Government, aimed at providing opportunities to young people of the province to pursue their entrepreneurial ventures to enable them to become job providers rather than job seekers. If you are between the ages of 18-30 and have a business idea that you can execute or a business you would like to expand, then apply to be part of the KP Impact Challenge 2018. Selection will be through a competitive process that starts with the application.

Shortlisted candidates will undergo training to be conducted by the LUMS National Incubation Centre (NIC). Those applicants who complete the training successfully will attend an Investors Summit to be held in Peshawar to solicit investments for their businesses and the KP Government will also give grants to supplement these investments. Females and young people belonging to rural areas are especially encouraged to apply. You can apply as an individual or as a partnership/team of 2 or more people.

The deadline for application is now open.
