About National Incubation Center Lahore

The National Incubation Center Lahore (NIC Lahore) is a first of its kind Incubation & Acceleration platform, launched under the public – private partnership of Ministry of Information Technology & Telecom, IGNITE, Fatima Ventures & Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).

Incubation

NIC Lahore provides state of the art Facility established to nurture startups during their early phases. Our facility provides affordable space, shared office spaces and included services, hands-on management training, marketing support and, often, access to financing.

Acceleration

This is a program that includes mentorship and edification where businesses pitch their ideas to the big names within the business community. These entail potential vendors, investors, partners, and customers. Thus, facilitating startups in establishing their grounds as a promising venture.

Plug N Play

The Plug ‘N’ Play center offers a per-head rent scale to start-ups. Until the start-ups gain enough profit to afford an independent workspace, our plug n play center works as a makeshift office. As the companies grow in head count, the rent increases to encourage more mature companies to move out and make room for younger start-ups.

Makers Lab

The Makers Lab is a collaborative work space provided by NIC. It allows startups to work on their products while being provided space and facilities to learn, explore and share their ideas using high tech tools.
