NIC Karachi has announced a dedicated growth-stage program tailored for startups ready to accelerate beyond early market entry and scale with greater impact. The initiative is designed for revenue-generating ventures, including those incubated or graduated from previous cohorts, that demonstrate a growth mindset, established market traction, and global ambition.

Startups with a yearly revenue of five million Pakistani rupees or more, registered as tech-based companies and driven by scaling goals, are encouraged to apply. The program aims to support founders in navigating the complexities of sustainable growth, helping them refine business strategies, deepen market penetration, enhance operational readiness, and prepare for broader regional or international expansion.

NIC Karachi’s growth initiative reflects the center’s broader evolution from an incubation hub to a comprehensive ecosystem partner that supports startups across the entire lifecycle, from ideation through growth and market acceleration. By offering targeted opportunities for revenue-focused ventures, the program underscores the importance of structured support for companies as they navigate scaling challenges and pursue long-term competitiveness.

The launch of this program aligns with NIC Karachi’s commitment to fostering a robust startup ecosystem in Pakistan — one that not only nurtures early-stage innovators but also empowers founders to build sustainable, high-impact ventures capable of competing on global stages.

Startups interested in participating can apply through the center’s official platform, connecting with a community of mentors, investors, and ecosystem partners aimed at helping them scale their operations and accelerate growth.
