The Embassy of Denmark in Pakistan, in collaboration with UNODC Pakistan and the University of Narowal, launched the National Incubation Centre for Social Entrepreneurship on the university campus to give young Pakistanis a platform to turn ideas into practical community solutions.
Prof. Ahsan Iqbal, Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, joined Ambassador H.E. Maja Derrous Mortensen of Denmark and Mr. Troels Vester, UNODC Pakistan Country Representative, to inaugurate the centre. The joint opening underscores international and local partnership in supporting youth-led initiatives across Pakistan.
Focused on social entrepreneurship, the centre will support projects in areas such as climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy, cultural tourism and digital services. It will provide skills training, mentorship and dedicated workspace so students and young entrepreneurs can prototype solutions that address local needs while remaining economically viable.
Students of the University of Narowal welcomed the delegation and engaged with organizers on campus, reflecting a strong community interest in innovation and social impact. The new centre aims to connect ambition with resources so Pakistani youth can build sustainable ventures that benefit their regions.
