The National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Department of State’s Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) Initiative, and Ratio Flux LLC have made the final selection of the innovation teams who will attend the virtual entrepreneurship and innovation training course designed to provide early stage Pakistani startup teams (including teams exploring an opportunity to start a company) hands-on experience with internationally-recognized best practices in technology commercialization.

Participants will gain a practical understanding of fundamental principles and processes that support the successful management of innovations across the technology lifecycle.  This program works with teams of  entrepreneurs and innovators to establish insights about customer needs and motivations, align product roadmaps to serve customer expectations, and attract stakeholders and partners to implement a business model. Participants will be introduced to entrepreneurship concepts designed to help craft a viable business model, illuminate opportunities and risks, and design a strong go-to-market strategy to leverage them.

We are very excited to welcome these startups and their teams to this training!
