About NIC Lahore
Launched in February 2017, National Incubation Center is a technology hub which aims to deliver advanced facilities and services to the aspiring startups and emerging entrepreneurs. NIC was launched under the public-private partnership of Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom (MOITT), National ICT R&D Fund, Jazz, and Teamup.
Ultimately, it was Jazz Pakistan which played a positive and effective role in forming NIC. The motto of Jazz and the vision of NIC also concur with each other. The CEO of Jazz, Aamir Ibrahim, upon the inauguration of NIC stated:
“National Incubation center project is not a CSR initiative as this is going to be the core of Jazz’s business”
