Reaching out on behalf of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) PAIDAR Programme.
A UN-backed, EU-funded grant window is about to open. Matching grants up to €200,000 for Pakistani startups and SMEs.
UNIDO's PAIDAR Programme is convening a closed-door founder briefing in Lahore ahead of the opening of its Social Entrepreneurship Grant Window, which will offer matching grants of up to €200,000 for eligible startups, SMEs, and social enterprises.
This Wednesday is the last event in Lahore before it does - a closed-door session where the UNIDO team walks you through what actually wins — straight from the people behind the grant.
We've also got a live panel with founders who've done it:
Omar Farooq Malik — CEO, Interwood
Faizan Aslam — Founder, Bookme.pk
Fiza Farhan — CEO, ORA Global
Badar Khushnood — Co-founder, Bramerz / Fishry
Ali Siddiq — Co-Founder & CEO, Amal Academy
Attendance is intentionally limited to enable direct interaction with the programme team.
