Quaid-i-Azam University

Quaid-i-Azam University is a public research university in Islamabad, established in 1967, with more than 11,000 students and a strongly research-oriented postgraduate profile. Its central research and commercialization office helps faculty and external partners develop collaborations, manage intellectual property, pursue licensing, and translate research toward market use. A university business incubation center adds an entrepreneurship pathway, while established links with large and small companies create routes for joint research, technology transfer, and talent engagement. Its location in Pakistan’s federal capital places it near government ministries, national research bodies, policy institutions, and diplomatic networks. Research support is anchored by Pakistan’s Higher Education Commission, Pakistan Science Foundation, COMSTECH, and international funders including USAID.
