LUMS Entrepreneurship & SME Center

Overview

It is important for us, a developing nation, to realize that our most valuable resource is our people. Giving these people entrepreneurship education not only will generate employment but will also encourage economic development and growth. According to a paper presented by Abraham Maslow, “the most valuable 100 people to bring into a deteriorating society would not be economists, or politicians, or engineers, but rather 100 entrepreneurs.” Entrepreneurs hold the key to rapid technological development and employment. They not only provide a livelihood for themselves but also create employment for others, thereby easing up social tensions growing in our society, where so many are deprived.

The training programmes are one of the many ways in which the centre helps in development of entrepreneurship and SMEs throughout the country.
