Pakistani universities are graduating a significant number of students annually. However, the capacity of both the public and private sectors to absorb and integrate these talented individuals remains limited. There are thousands of opportunities around us in Pakistan. However, the laid-back attitude and the lack of purpose and an entrepreneurial mindset does not motivate the students to appreciate and discover these opportunities.

Embracing a higher purpose in life, coupled with an entrepreneurial mindset, grants life a deeper meaning and empowers individuals with the determination and courage to pursue goals beyond personal happiness. We firmly believe that nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset among our students can propel them to actively participate in nation-building initiatives, contributing not only to Pakistan’s growth but also to the service of humanity

Whatever the students choose to do, they must do it with the Entrepreneurial Mindset. The objectives of CEM are manifold:

GIFT University is an Emerging Entrepreneurial University in Pakistan and is working to spearhead the entrepreneurial revolution in Pakistan by promoting environmentally, socially, and ethically sensitive businesses and a nation-building mindset. 

The University is working on preparing well-rounded individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset I.e., finding their best self (concept of Khudi), belief in resource abundance, a sense of purpose (looking beyond profit), sense of wonder (seeing the world through an effectual lens) and service. We believe that the application of the entrepreneurial mindset can help the youth in not only new venture creation but also help existing business, private and governmental organizations in terms of problem-solving, introducing innovation, and growth. 

This center is unique and one of its own kind in helping the students and faculty discover their hidden potential. We welcome the students, faculty and community to be a part of our programs and be a part of the change.
