Project Brief:

The incubations usually have an impact on the economic growth of a country by producing more job opportunities and showcasing solutions for socio-economic issues by means of innovations, and most importantly supporting economy in term trade deficit and local needs. However, it is also admitted fact that the most incubations go towards their failure and we cannot see high potential breakthroughs which can put Pakistan on the map as an entrepreneurial country e.g. China, UK and Israel etc. or any start-ups-based city e.g. Beijing, Chennai, Silicon Valley etc. Keeping in backdrop to Pakistan’s market size, potentials, crisis and growth, we intend to conduct an in-depth assessment study of Pakistan’s incubation & start up/ business ecosystems by exploring ecosystem through literature and to have detailed insights about its existing state in Pakistan.

Public Policy Relevance:

The study aims to conduct an in-depth assessment study of Pakistan’s incubation & start-up/ business ecosystems by exploring the ecosystem through literature and to have detailed insights about its existing state in Pakistan, key stakeholders, their roles, barriers and assess the efficacy of key initiatives being taken by these stakeholder concerning their impact on the ecosystem. This study will develop a policy framework to make a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem which will enable institutes to develop enabling environment for incubations in Pakistan.
