Welcome to DICE Foundation! Before I proceed, I would like to make a request – Please read the following sentence and then close your eyes, imagine it and then repeat it:

“I want to see Pakistan as one of the most socially, technologically and economically advanced and prosperous nations of the world in My Lifetime!”.

Does it seem like an insurmountable task, sure it does - but is it possible? Yes, de�nitely it is possible since many nations around the world have done it in a ma�er of one to two generations using Innovation as a tool to generate wealth for their countries – we can use the same tool of Innovation to bring prosperity to our nation. What I see missing in Pakistan is lack of structured approach to promote innovation culture in the country and lack of a powerful National Innovation System (NIS). And the scale of problem is so big that government alone can’t �x it. Everyone in the society needs to pitch in and play their role. I always believed that expatriates around the world and privileged and successful members of the Pakistani society within Pakistan, working together can act as a catalyst in transforming Pakistan.

With that in mind, in order to create culture of Innovation and lay down solid foundation of a strong NIS, we started DICE Program in Pakistan in 2007. DICE Foundation is a volunteer based organization led and run jointly by expatriates and thought leaders within Pakistan. Over course of 12+ years DICE Foundation has established innovation platforms in the major strategic areas of economy such as energy & water, automotive, health, textile, agriculture, information technologies, and creative art & media. Through these platforms academia, industry, government and expatriates from USA, UK, and from other parts of the world have been working in unison to promote innovation culture through annual innovation events, providing support for the commercialization of innovations through programs such as DICE Shark, building capacity, providing access to Pakistani businesses abroad through extensive expatriate network and also acting as a think tank to help government of Pakistan develop a strong NIS through initiatives such as National innovation Basket (NIB).

As we make progress, we plan to extend DICE platform to common public beyond educational institutes, where anyone be it homemaker, common man, mechanic, etc. will have opportunity to show their innovative ideas and products to businessmen to invest in. We are determined to make innovation as part of DNA of our nation. As a nation we need to start relying on ourselves and start focusing on acquiring economically useful knowledge.

We at DICE, truly believe Pakistan can make everything – it can have its own car brand, its own indigenous solar panels, wind turbines, medical devices, technical and smart textile products; internet-of-things innovative products, digital art service industry, technologies to make Hollywood quality movies and so on. All it needs is a strong National Innovation System.

In the end I would like to make a humble request to expatriates all over the world, academia, industry, govern-ment, businessmen, politicians, men and women from any walk of life, to become part of DICE movement and play your role in whatever capacity you can, whether you are in Pakistan or abroad. Together we can make it happen! God Bless our motherland.

DICE TESTIMONIALSJAVED GHULAM MOHAMMAD Group MD & CEO - Martin Dow Group

Pakistan has always been a land of hidden talent. Whether it’s a global technology company Microso� or leader of entertainment Hollywood or in the �eld of sports or a Nobel prize, our youths have made us proud on a global stage. Such untapped talent is just a tip of the iceberg of our nation’s talent. Today Martin Dow Group is proud to be the title sponsor of the 5th All Pakistan DUHS-DICE, Health Innovation Exhibition 2019 and congratulates DICE foundation for successfully providing platform for our youth to showcase their hidden talent and encour-age entrepreneurship across Pakistan. We feel honored and privileged to support such innovation-oriented platform that welcomes and encourages the youth to showcase their innovative skills. The initiative taken by DICE to honor innovation and entrepreneurship is a step towards taking Pakistan to greater heights. The road to success might be di�cult but virtually nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it with a positive a�itude.Martin Dow Group believes that platforms like DICE are needed to bring growth, prosperi-ty, employment and commercialization to Pakistan. DICE Health Innovation Center provides a very special opportunity to the individuals to transform their innovative concepts into market realities. The exposure to such innovations will help the healthcare industry to grow by identifying a�ordable and more convenient solutions for the patients. The innovative projects bring forth the potentials of the individual and will give them access to international platforms. The relationship of Martin Dow Group and DUHS has been remarkable. In 2018, Martin Dow recognized the highest achievers at the 9th Convocation of DUHS by awarding them M. Jawed Akhai shields and the Martin Dow gold medals. Martin Dow has also been provid-ing scholarships to pharmacy students and has encouraged, motivated and empowered the youth. Our partnership with DUHS will further grow and prosper. Martin Dow Group will continue to support initiatives that would bring prosperity and empowerment to Pakistan and especially our youth. Our quest for “Creating Distinction for Life” will go beyond limits until we have achieved our nations actualization.

Learning through experiences with DICE I have been able to setup academia-industry-government collaborations to foster entrepreneurial ecosystem, where business plan, ideas and innovation competitions are part of every degree program. I would like to acknowledge the consistent support of DICE leadership and team for working year-round in various knowledge and innovation domains all over Pakistan for building business leadership in Pakistan.

DICE FRAMEWORK &KEY INITIATIVESDICE Foundation is a US based non-profit 501 c (3) tax-exempt organization registered in Michigan USA. The organization is run by expatriate volunteers from US, UK, Canada and by thought leaders in Pakistan, who are fully committed to bringing sustained prosperity to their motherland through innovation, entrepreneurship, and local product development. DICE Foundation is pursuing its mission with support from its strategic partners such as Higher Education Commission (HEC), British Council, major Higher Education Institutions such as NUST, NEDUET, COMSATS, DUHS, UAF, NTU, SMIU and many industries in automotive, energy, health, textile, IT sectors and industry associations such as PAAPAM, Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry, textile associations, etc. DICE program has been going on since 2007 and has been mobilizing academia, industry and government institutions across Pakistan, through its DICE mega innovation platform which conducts largest innovation event of the country every year (>200 projects per year from all over Pakistan). The idea is for all stakeholders to come to a common platform to showcase innovations and technologies, share knowledge, and further collaborate with each other for the rapid development of innovative products, necessary for the socio-economic development of the country.

Starting in 2014, DICE launched focused innovation platforms in various key sectors of economy such as Automo-tive, Energy & Water, Health, Textile, Information & Enabling Technologies, Agriculture & Food sciences, and Creative Art & Media. Through these focused platforms DICE is promoting innovation and local product develop-ment, collaboration among stakeholders, capacity building through expatriate mobilization, commercialization of innovations, providing access to Pakistani businesses to international markets through extensive expatriate network, and providing support to Government of Pakistan in policy-making. DICE also established several inno-vation centers throughout the country for focused platforms to pursue strategic projects such as design and devel-opment of an indigenous demo car, medical devices, innovative textile products, and low-cost renewable energy.

Three years ago, DICE Sharks was launched in Pakistan to support commercialization of innovative ideas by connecting young innovators and entrepreneurs with potential investors. Several projects have already been funded (~4M PKR) and are being executed through DICE Sharks initiative. In addition, National Innovation Basket (NIB) initiative was also launched two years ago to identify opportunities, strengths, issues, weaknesses, and threats in each of the strategic areas of economy, as represented by various platforms.

DICE Foundation will continue to work hard to promote development of local innovative products to reduce imports and increase exports of local products creating a sustainable job market for youth in Pakistan.

STEERINGCOMMITTEE

Empowering students of Pakistan to address its grass root problems through innovative solutions.

VISION

To foster innovation and entrepreneurship culture at an institute level through-out the country and transform student ideas into commercial products and services through various DICE focused initiatives.

MISSION

DICE Foundation all Pakistan Innovation platforms which have been going on since 2007 have proven to be an excellent tool to create innovation culture at national level. In eight mega all Pakistan annual innovation events, institutions from all over Pakistan participate with their best of the best innovations and also have an opportunity to pitch their innovations in front of industry and business-men to raise necessary funds to convert their innovation ideas into real commer-cial products. Though each of these all Pakistan events has huge overall partici-pation from all over Pakistan but from a participating institution perspective, only few teams are able to participate from any given institution and hundreds of students are still unable to directly bene�t from these large national innova-tion events. In order to address this major issue and to create a strong culture of innovation within an institution involving whole population of student communi-ty, DICE Foundation started to launch DICE Institution-level Innovation Platforms (DICE-IIPs) in 2014, with a goal to ultimately cover all 180+ Higher education institutions, polytechnics and vocational training centers, etc. in Pakistan.

DICE VIRTUAL INNOVATION COMPETITION (DICE VIC)DICE IIP is a very powerful platform to create culture of innovation throughout an institution. It is typically jointly led by a student society team and faculty in-charge, using the framework and guidance provided by DICE Foundation, USA. As part of DICE IIP, each institution is required to conduct one DICE VIC innovation event every year for which prize money is sponsored by DICE Foundation. In order to involve students from throughout the institution, student teams run marketing campaign and approach students from each department to participate in DICE VIC event. They also approach industry to a�end and participate in the �nal event as well as to support judging process. This enables the institution to establish strong linkage with local industry which can provide seed funds to develop those innovations along with providing internships and other necessary support to students throughout the year. In each DICE VIC hundreds of student teams from all major departments submit their innovations on DICE Innovation Portal. All these submi�ed innovations then go through a rigorous judging process by experts from academia and industry, to select top innovations which can then be taken to next step to get developed into commercial ready indigenous products, with support from industry/businessmen and DICE Foundation.
