The Business Incubation Center at the University of Peshawar is welcoming its selected startups to Cohort 3, with the journey officially beginning at an orientation session held today, Monday, October 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the center’s premises. Framed around the idea that the startup journey starts here, the session marks the formal entry point for this round’s selected founders into BIC’s incubation programme.
All selected startups are required to attend the orientation, which will provide important information about the incubation journey ahead, upcoming activities, and the documentation founders will need to prepare as they move through the programme. Making attendance mandatory rather than optional signals that BIC treats this session as foundational rather than a mere formality, setting expectations early before founders begin engaging with the programme’s actual mentorship and development activities.
For founders newly selected into Cohort 3, an orientation session of this kind typically serves as the first opportunity to understand not just the practical logistics of the programme but also what will be expected of them over the coming months, from milestones they will need to hit to the kind of support structures available to help them get there. Starting with a clear, structured briefing can help reduce the uncertainty that often accompanies joining a new incubation cohort, giving founders a clearer picture of what lies ahead before diving into the work itself.
BIC encouraged incoming founders to come prepared and bring their enthusiasm as they get ready to turn their ideas into impact, continuing the center’s pattern of running structured, cohort-based incubation programmes at the University of Peshawar. With Cohort 3 now officially underway following today’s orientation, BIC moves forward into the next stages of supporting its newly selected startups through their incubation journey.
