HYDERABAD:

The National Incubation Centre (NIC) Hyderabad, an Ignite initiative under the Ministry of IT & Telecom, marked a major milestone as it celebrated the graduation of 32 startups from its 4th and 5th cohorts, alongside its third anniversary.

In just three years, NIC Hyderabad has emerged as a leading hub of innovation, entrepreneurship, and job creation, firmly placing the city on Pakistan's digital map. Federal Minister for IT & Telecom, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, attended the graduation ceremony as chief guest, joined by senior officials from the ministry, Ignite, LMKT, PTCL, academia, and the business community.

Highlighting the government's commitment to the Prime Minister's Digital Nation Vision, the minister said the graduating startups reflect the talent and resilience of Pakistan's youth. "These entrepreneurs are shaping our digital future by driving economic growth, creating jobs, and showcasing Pakistan's innovation on the global stage. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, the ministry remains committed to building a Digital Pakistan by nurturing such ecosystems nationwide," she said.
