[pakgrid] Participate, Innovate, and Win - PIF's Innovation Lab at CASE 2-5pm 26th June 2013

 

Dear All:

I am very pleased to announce our Innovation Lab in Collaboration with CASE (Islamabad) on 26th at 2-5pm.

As you may know, Pakistan Innovation Foundation is a private-sector driven non-profit entity created to promote innovation in Pakistan. Our Launch Initiative, The National Innovation Grand Challenge will be announced later this summer and will engage students and professionals in collective and competitive problem solving in the above domains.

Leading upto the NIGC, we're carrying out Innovation Labs at some of Pakistan's Leading Universities such as UAF, LUMS, NUST, QAU, PU, KITE etc. Our first Innovation Lab was held last week at University of Agriculture Faisalabad.

The purpose of these Labs is to inspire students and faculty to think creatively and innovatively about solving our problems. We would love to have students and faculty from outside CASE participate alongside colleagues from within CASE and ultimately compete for the NIGC.
