I am reaching out from Change Mechanics (the managing partners of NIC Islamabad and NIC Faisalabad) to share an exclusive opportunity tailored for your university's student body. We would be incredibly grateful if you could forward this opportunity to your student networks, entrepreneurship clubs, and campus communication channels so that more students can benefit from building real startups this summer.
Application is open for League of Launchers 2026, Pakistan’s premier AI Acceleration Bootcamp for students and young builders. Not every student secures an internship each summer, and even when they do, traditional roles don’t always offer real, hands-on learning.
League of Launchers offers a stronger alternative: students step out of observation mode and into creation mode. They form teams, build real products, and turn ideas into startups through guided mentorship and practical ex*****on. We have observed that while many students possess strong ideas and immense ambition, they often lack structured exposure to the actual process of turning those concepts into working products. This program is specifically designed to bridge that gap. This summer, students won't just learn theory, they will actively build something tangible from scratch.
The program will run from the first week of July to the last week of August 2026. Student teams walk away with more than just a product.
Over 8 weeks they get:
1- Mentorship & coaching from active founders and industry practitioners
2- Industry exposure — real conversations with Pakistan's startup ecosystem
3- Career readiness support — structured guidance on where to go after the program
4- Hands-on build sessions — weekly checkpoints to keep ex*****on on track
5- A final Demo Day in front of investors and ecosystem leaders
6- Google Cloud credits for all participating teams
And the winning team takes home PKR 1,00,000 in cash prizes — with top performers getting a chance to enter Taksh Venture Studio, where the best ideas get the support to become real startups.
Last season, the program saw incredible engagement from young builders across Pakistan, receiving 300+ applications from 17 cities and resulting in 57 distinct projects built entirely over the course of the bootcamp. The startups that came out of Season 01 didn't stop there several went on to get incubated and are today fully functioning AI startups, actively building and growing in Pakistan's tech ecosystem.
The program fee is PKR 10,000 per team. Whether you apply solo or as a team, totally up to you.
Please share this with your students so they can make this summer count by building something of their own.
Applications are officially open, and students can apply directly here:

As most universities across Pakistan are currently in their final exam season, and on popular request, we are extending the application deadline to 25th June 2026. We want to make sure no student misses out simply because of exam schedules — so take the time you need, and apply when you're ready.
