Office of Research, Innovation & Commercialization

With the rapid technological developments around the globe, the importance of effective innovative solutions for the world problems has become more relevant. Universities are considered key players in bringing these innovative solutions and thereby exposing isolated research to the industry through commercialization.

Universities are places of knowledge creation, knowledge capturing, and knowledge sharing. Here, ideas are openly exchanged; existing phenomenon and processes are challenged, and societal intellectual standards are enhanced through the pursuit of inquiry and intrigue.

 Traditionally, universities were involved in teaching and isolated research where the latter has not been given its due importance.  In world’s renowned universities, both teaching and research are given equal importance and that is why they are considered as the beacon of knowledge creation. 

We believe that in order to catch up with the leading universities around the world, universities in Pakistan must also focus on quality research alongside teaching and the commercialization of this research in order to provide indigenous and innovative solutions to the local problems.
