4. SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN PAKISTANUnlocking innovation through enterprise incubation Priya Shah Thursday, 7 February 2013

5. The Scope for Social Enterprise in Pakistan • Landscape: • In Pakistan, 66% of the population of 187 million lives at the base of the pyramid, under US$2 a day. • Low-income communities lack adequate access to healthcare, education, water, energy, and housing. • Similar to most developing countries, the government and the private sector have not been entirely able to fill the gap for the provision of goods & services – this is where social enterprises come in. • Opportunity: • A wealth of natural resources is untapped across the energy, agribusiness and mining sectors. • Two-thirds of the population is under 30 years old; there is a need for stronger vocational training and empowerment of able workforce. • Technology & innovation can be used to boost local enterprises. • A number of foundations and social intermediaries are already active in this space.

6. The Report: Why Business Schools? • Business schools represent a highly skilled segment of the education sector. They can be the launching pads for social innovators with the right inputs. There are 99 higher institutions offering business education in Pakistan. • Prestigious universities (LUMS, IBA) can leverage global networks to build incubator hubs in Pakistan. • The provision of management, innovation and skills training is vital for the next generation of entrepreneurial businesses. • Alumni networks through business schools can continue to mentor young entrepreneurs through fellow and accelerator programs. • Case studies from other markets, such as India, can be used to assess replication in Pakistan (e.g. IIMA incubator hub in India).

7. The Report: Key Findings • Pakistan has a thriving entrepreneurial culture that can be harnessed effectively by business schools. • Fellows system and mentorship networks are key to capacity building and providing post-investment management assistance. • Grassroots activities now need to translate to the policy level (Social Innovation Coalition).
