Cohort 15 participants can expect a comprehensive approach to startup development, including expert-led sessions, hands-on assistance, and access to a network of professionals invested in their journey.

In addition to incubation resources, NIC Peshawar hosts events such as the Founders Meetup, an open networking session designed to connect freelancers, founders, and professionals. These meetups allow participants to exchange insights, explore collaborations, and engage with the broader startup ecosystem. By fostering interaction and dialogue, NIC Peshawar provides founders with exposure to new ideas and potential partnerships.

The program also collaborates with organizations like PAGE Foundation, offering sessions that highlight how startups are built, how incubation works, and how the right ecosystem can transform an idea into a scalable venture. Previous sessions demonstrated strong engagement and enthusiasm from participants, showcasing the next wave of founders who are thinking strategically about growth and market opportunities.

Applications for Cohort 15 are now open for early-stage startups and entrepreneurs with innovative ideas. Founders interested in joining the program can apply via the official website or the provided application link.
