A roundtable discussion focused on addressing the funding gap for Pakistani startups is set to take place at the upcoming +92 Disrupt Conference in Karachi. The event, organized in collaboration with the Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA), Telenor, Invest2Innovate (i2i), Telenor Velocity, and Katalyst Labs, aims to bring together key stakeholders to explore solutions and foster a thriving startup ecosystem.

The Pakistani startup landscape, while brimming with potential, often faces challenges related to access to capital. Many startups struggle to secure adequate funding to scale their operations and achieve sustainable growth. To address this issue, the roundtable discussion will bring together industry experts, investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to identify practical solutions and foster collaboration within the ecosystem.

The roundtable discussion will delve into several key topics. Participants will discuss the current state of startup funding in Pakistan, highlighting the challenges that startups face in securing adequate financing. The role of the government and the private sector in supporting startups will also be a key focus, with discussions on potential policy interventions and corporate partnerships.

The importance of mentorship and training programs will be emphasized, as these initiatives can equip startups with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed. Additionally, the potential of impact investing and social entrepreneurship will be explored, with a focus on how these models can contribute to sustainable development and social impact.

By fostering dialogue and collaboration, the roundtable aims to create a more supportive environment for startups and encourage long-term growth and success. The event will also explore innovative funding models and financing mechanisms that can help bridge the funding gap.

The organizers of the roundtable believe that by addressing the funding challenge, Pakistan can unlock its full potential as a global tech hub. The event is expected to generate significant interest and spark meaningful discussions that will shape the future of the Pakistani startup ecosystem.
