Islamabad, (Parliament Times) : Pakistan is said to be young nation. More than 60% of population consists of youth. Youth that has to make their career. Career making requires employment and business. Pakistan’s population is more than 220 Million and we are poor developing country. One can easily count how many are 60% of 220 Million. The only solution to adjust this huge population of youth is Start Ups , Entrepreneurship, Small and Medium Enterprises. But unfortunately most of the aspiring youth and their mentors even do not know much about what is Start Up or Entrepreneurship actually? They see it financially only and leave the other important prospects undressed. Reluctantly , finance is spent without sale and profit.

He has served in this field extensively in UK. He is in Islamabad these days. He is here to observe the sector and provide his services for his home land as well.

Face Book is another example of technology business that engaged the whole world. The youth needs to develop them personally with their mental conditioning. Starting a new venture is not an easy job. You need to analyze the whole idea of your project with respect to available market.

Industry should guide the academia what are the trends and requirements of the market.
