In the face of critical economic challenges and growing employment concerns, innovative solutions are more urgent than ever. The Association of Private Sector Universities of Pakistan (APSUP) is responding to this need with the launch of “SEE Pakistan,” a groundbreaking platform dedicated to fostering a new era of entrepreneurship. This initiative aims to empower the nation’s youth by creating job creators and strengthening the economy.
This year’s event, aligned with the spirit of Independence Day celebrations in August, transcends a mere exhibition—it’s a symbol of hope and a catalyst for economic transformation. Spearheaded by the Chaudhry Muhammad Akram Center for Entrepreneurship Development (CMACED) and co-hosted by prominent institutions such as Superior University, the University of Lahore (UOL), Green International University, and the University of Sialkot, SEE Pakistan 2024 also partners with international universities like Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore-Italy and Yeditepe University-Turkey. These institutions, recognized for their academic excellence and innovation, share a collective mission: to reshape Pakistan’s economy by nurturing problem-solvers and future job creators.
Building on the success of previous years, SEE Pakistan 2024 is poised to be a transformative movement in the country’s entrepreneurial landscape. This year’s event has significantly expanded, featuring 1,591 startups from 161 universities across 114 cities.
