History
IBA-CED was launched back in 2009 joining hands with Babson College, a leading business school in the United States, to enhance the centre’s capacity to train the IBA community everything entrepreneurship.
Impact
In a short span of time, IBA-CED has been able to leave an indelible mark across Pakistan. With more than 10,500 students and 1,000 faculty members in more than 25 cities benefiting from these programs. More than 300 businesses have completed our incubation program which in turn created 2,000 jobs and 1,400 internships.
The course was unconventional & different in a refreshing and motivating sense.
I am proud that Asqurr stood second in the startup competition by IBA, sponsored by Oxfam. It was such a great opportunity to be part of this competition. I am thankful to IBA CED and Oxfam for organizing this competition.
