LAHORE: Pakistan has greater potential for young and passionate entrepreneurs. The only thing needed is focus on strengths and trust in abilities, said Dr Arsalan Ghani from Cambridge University.

He was speaking at a talk on Entrepreneurship and Commercialisation organised by the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) in Lahore on Tuesday.



“Pakistanis are working in almost all big organisations across the globe and contributing their best to every field,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion, UET Vice Chancellor Dr Fazal Ahmad Khalid said the university not only encourage students’ start-ups, but was also facilitating them in various ways. A business incubation centre at UET is specially functioning to facilitate students in a systematic way, he added.



Dr Ghani said inspiration, innovative ideas and dedication are the basic principles to be successful in every venture. “No start-up is big or small, but commitment and hard work make it a big venture”.

A large number of students participated in the session. An interactive question answer session was held at the end of the event.
