Bahauddin Zakariya University

Bahauddin Zakariya University is a large public research university serving South Punjab from its main campus in Multan, with additional sub‑campus presence expanding access across the region. Industry partners engage through the Office of Research, Innovation & Commercialization and a Business Incubation Centre that streamline contracting, connect companies to faculty expertise, and support startup formation. Agri‑ and animal‑science testbeds, including experimental farms and an environment‑controlled poultry facility with feed milling, enable prototyping, field validation, and workforce training under real‑world conditions. The university’s location places collaborators next to South Punjab’s manufacturing and agrifood base, with links to textile, processing, and supply‑chain operators in Multan. Research is supported by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan and other competitive national programs; ORIC provides technology transfer support from IP management to industry‑sponsored projects.
