FICS is a program designed at NUST, encouraging students to identify social problems and develop innovative, technology-based solutions. FICS comprises a competition that engages all 18 Schools and Colleges of NUST, spread across different cities of Pakistan. It involves Industry and civil society in identifying problems, developing solutions, mentoring and improving them through a period of 6-7 months, demonstrating working prototypes to Industry judges, and post-competition selection of the best projects, which are further mentored to develop into social enterprises. FICS is closely aligned with the SDGs, as students can develop their ideas from within the SDGs.
