Women Business Incubation Center (WBIC) is an initiative of SMEDA being funded by Government of Pakistan to provide ‘hands-on support’ to Women Entrepreneurs (WEs) in an exclusive female oriented environment. It is the first of its kind center in Pakistan wherein, Offices, Exhibition/Display facility and Business Development Services (including training programs) are being offered to Women Entrepreneurs (WEs) under one roof. The entire effort is focused at encouraging new business start-ups and support to existing businesses including the right environment for nurturing women owned and managed businesses to an extent that these become sustainable; more specifically, in start-up period (first five years) when they are most vulnerable. WBIC is a supportive entrepreneurial community designed to help grow small businesses. The center is established for providing assistance to home-based businesses or those in earlier stages of development.
