CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP & INNOVATION MANAGEMENT
NUST Business School (NBS) has been a producing quality business graduates since 2002. With changing business environment, the school has evolved as well, and focused itself to giving comprehensive business training, both practical and research oriented to its students.
Entrepreneurship is at the heart of NUST, as well as NBS’s mission statement. One challenge faced by business institutions today is to motivate their students and faculty regarding entrepreneurship and innovation. Spirit of entrepreneurship among students and faculty is fostered through an appropriate eco system, consisting of systematic training, mentorship and opportunities. Hence, NBS needed to establish this culture. At the university level, NBS faculty and students possess a unique skill set required for the success of any entrepreneurial venture. However, it is lacking the entrepreneurship culture and eco system required to channel this talent. In order to facilitate this need, NBS has set up a center for research in entrepreneurship and innovation management. Our mission is to find, teach, and develop world class entrepreneurs.
