The SZABIST Startup Competition 2025, held on May 17, 2025, at SZABIST University Islamabad Campus, celebrated innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The event took place alongside the 8th Indigenous Entrepreneurship Conference (IEC-8), creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with groundbreaking ideas and entrepreneurial energy.

Organized under the guidance of Sir Raja Shahid Jahangir and Dr. Kashif Abrar from the Faculty of Management Sciences, the event served as “The Stage for Changemakers.” It brought together young innovators, aspiring entrepreneurs, and industry experts for a full day of learning, pitching, and networking.

The auditorium buzzed with enthusiasm as participants showcased their innovative solutions to real-world challenges.

A special thanks goes out to all participants from BBA and BS(AF) programs, along with the mentors and faculty members, whose guidance and support made the event a huge success.
