The LUMS Centre for Entrepreneurship (LCE) has joined a consortium of partners, led by HUM TV Network, to manage the Centre of Excellence in Gaming and Animation (CEGA). CEGA is an initiative funded by the IGNITE Fund and the Ministry of IT & Telecom to develop Pakistan’s digital economy by providing training to gaming and animation start-ups and building a strong ecosystem for these industries across the country.
Pakistan has a rapidly growing community of passionate game developers and animators who are either working with software companies and gaming studios or freelancing their talents. With its presence in Karachi and Lahore, CEGA seeks to uplift this talent pool, elevate it to a global level, and position Pakistan as a regional hub for gaming and animation. Through this initiative, start-ups can apply to the CEGA incubation programme, receive mentorship from industry experts, attend training workshops, utilise co-working spaces, and gain access to valuable investment opportunities.
As a knowledge partner, LCE will contribute through specialised workshops, training sessions, and curriculum development, ensuring that incubated developers, animators, and entrepreneurs not only gain technical expertise but also the entrepreneurial skills needed to make their mark in the global creative economy.
Jazib Zahir, Director, LCE, shares, “LCE is very excited to support the nationwide CEGA initiative. Gaming and animation are among the most dynamic industries today, and through CEGA, entrepreneurs in these sectors will be encouraged to take their ideas further and scale them into more impactful ventures through mentorship and training. The trainings will focus on key areas such as building prototypes, collecting and analysing data, identifying market needs, and much more. There is immense potential in gaming and animation, and through CEGA, entrepreneurs will gain a structured, disciplined approach to succeeding in these creative fields."
LCE’s participation in CEGA reinforces the Centre’s commitment to driving economic growth and innovation in Pakistan by nurturing start-ups across diverse industries, including gaming and animation.
