Today on 12th September 2023, A workshop on “An Effective Pitch Deck” was arranged by the Office of Research Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) at MUST Smart Classroom from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm.
Engr. Dr. Sohaib Manzoor, Manager, Innovation and Commercialization, acted as the resource person for the workshop. Earlier, the program commenced with a recitation of holy verses from the Quran by Engr. Irfan Jamshed. The workshop covered topics related to pitch information, data with the story, precise personal introduction, emerging research problems and rectifying the solutions, visuals, SWOT analysis, business models, and market analysis. The workshop was a blend of theoretical and personal experiences.

The workshop captured an audience from all faculties which included respectable faculty members and students. The workshop also had the importance of the inauguration of the MUST smart classroom. The latest software such as Idea Share and Huawei GUI were used to enhance the presentation facilities.
In the concluding remarks, Prof. Dr. Faisal Riaz requested the audience to reflect on the learning outcomes of the workshop by pitching small research ideas in written and verbally.
