Plan9 Conducts Event on ‘Pakistani Startups Making Waves’
Posted by PRESS RELEASE
Pakistan has been in existence for sixty-nine years. The country has been moving towards new, innovative scientific advancements but it has yet to come in alignment with other progressing countries when it comes to innovation and entrepreneurs paving the way for it.
Our youth searches for ample opportunities, seeking out a platform that provides just that. Plan9 – PITB’s Tech Incubator is one of those organizations that caters to the changing demands and needs of young individuals.
The more confidence and motivation the younger generation has, the more the country will move towards growth and prosperity.
“For quite some time now, Pakistan has produced exceptional startups who have raised considerable investment. Our aim is to bring them together on one stage so they may help motivate and inspire budding entrepreneurs. –Umar Saif, Chairman PITB.
