🚀 From UET Lahore to the global startup ecosystem — our alumni are making Pakistan proud. 🇵🇰🌍

The Department of Computer Science, UET Lahore proudly celebrates the extraordinary achievement of Mr. Shoaib Rafique (Session 2018–2022) and Mr. Shahbaz Rafique (Session 2021–2025), founders of Ryzent AI, for becoming the first Pakistani founders and startup to receive the Latvia Startup Visa, launching their AI venture with the support of the Latvian Government.

Their journey has now reached another milestone with selection by Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), Doha, alongside eligibility for the prestigious Jusoor 10-Year Residency Program of Qatar — reflecting their global vision, entrepreneurial excellence, and commitment to innovation.

From UET classrooms to international startup ecosystems, their success is a powerful reminder that bold ideas, persistence, and ambition can create impact beyond borders.

Congratulations to Shoaib and Shahbaz on this remarkable achievement. Your story inspires the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs at UET Lahore and beyond. 👏✨

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore proudly announces the remarkable achievement of its distinguished alumni, Mr. Shoaib Rafique (Session 2018–2022) and Mr. Shahbaz Rafique (Session 2021–2025), who have become the first Pakistani founders and startup to be awarded the Latvia Startup Visa, launching their AI-powered venture Ryzent AI in Latvia and operating under the support of the Latvian Government.

Shoaib and Shahbaz, both graduates of the Computer Science Department at UET Lahore, co-founded Ryzent AI — an all-in-one AI-powered platform designed to help tech startups and scaling teams manage their entire operations under one roof, replacing tool sprawl with a single intelligent solution.

What makes their story even more remarkable is that Ryzent AI is not their first rodeo. The Rafique brothers are seasoned entrepreneurs who have built and operated multiple ventures, including Tiers Limited, alongside 2–3 other businesses — demonstrating a rare entrepreneurial depth at such a young age. Their hunger to build has taken them across the world, having travelled to 10–15 countries globally, attending startup events, building networks, and gaining first-hand exposure to international business ecosystems. This breadth of experience — spanning industries, borders, and cultures — is what has sharpened their vision and given Ryzent AI its truly global edge.

In a continued testament to their vision and global ambition, Ryzent AI has recently been selected by the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP), Doha, for incubation. Both founders have also been deemed eligible for the prestigious Jusoor 10-Year Residency Program of Qatar — a recognition reserved for exceptional entrepreneurs and innovators.

Their journey — from the classrooms of UET Lahore to the international startup stage — stands as a shining example of what Pakistani talent can achieve on the global level. We are incredibly proud of Shoaib and Shahbaz and hope their story inspires the next generation of student entrepreneurs to dream boldly, build fearlessly, and represent Pakistan with excellence.
