Are you a woman entrepreneur ready to innovate, lead, and scale? The Futuremakers Women in Tech Accelerator Pakistan is now accepting applications for its 7th cohort!
As part of Futuremakers by Standard Chartered (Futuremakers), their global initiative focused on economic empowerment, this programme supports female-led, tech-enabled businesses that are driving innovation and creating lasting impact.

Why Women in Tech?
- Women-led businesses in Pakistan — like those around the world — have the potential to generate up to 2 to 3 times more revenue per dollar invested than their male counterparts. Yet, they continue to receive less than 3% of venture funding. The Women in Tech Accelerator aims to bridge this gap and unlock opportunities for women entrepreneurs to drive innovation, scale their ventures, and inspire inclusive economic growth.
