KARACHI: Mobilink Bank has successfully graduated 13 women-led enterprises from its ‘Women Inspirational Network (WIN) Incubator Programme’ after equipping them with essential skills, financial literacy and digital tools to upscale their startup, build business resilience and foster sustainable growth, a statement said on Monday.

Ecobricks received the Best Startup Award and a prize of Rs1 million, while Recycle Bin and EcoGrow were each awarded Rs500,000 as winners of the Innovation Challenge. The awards recognised promising ideas and provided crucial financial support to fuel these businesses’ continued growth and success.

Through our incubator programme and financial inclusion efforts, we are turning aspirations into achievements and fostering a more inclusive, equitable future. Congratulations to our graduates; we can’t wait to support the next wave of changemakers.”
