One of IU COREโ€™s 1st Cohort Incubated Startups, Wastease, showcased its innovative solutions at SEE Pakistan, achieving the distinction of being among the top 100 startups selected from a pool of 1,600 applicants.

This accomplishment is a significant milestone not only for Wastease but also for IU CORE, as we continue to empower innovative startups to excel on a national level. Wastease is redefining plastic waste management by transforming it into durable building materials like paver blocks. Its unique advantage lies in an innovative biodegradation process, ensuring eco-friendly products that naturally decompose over time. With a strong commitment to sustainability, Wastease is dedicated to reducing environmental impact.

Since the launch of IU CORE, our startups have been making their mark with at least one startup selected in every single NIC cohort. Thatโ€™s not just consistency, thatโ€™s impact.

To date, 6 IU CORE startups have successfully entered acceleration programs at NIC Karachi and NIC Hyderabad, proving the power of innovation, and the entrepreneurial spirit fostered at Iqra Universityโ€™s very own incubation center.

Hereโ€™s to building greater ideas and shaping the futureโ€”one startup at a time!
