Nine startups graduate from National Technology and Science Park’s flagship Hatch 8 programme

IASP member the National Technology and Science Park (NSTP), recently graduated nine of its startups, including two startups led by NSTP female founders whom we had the pleasure to host during our last Women in IASP online webinar. 

Hatch 8 is NSTP’s flagship incubation programme, designed to help founders move from early validation to market readiness through structured capacity building, expert mentorship, and pitch preparation. Throughout the cohort, startups received targeted training and mentorship to refine business models, strengthen go-to market strategies, and prepare for scaling up.  

Amer Sheikh, Director of NSTP commented on Hatch 8 being the park's leading platform for developing the country’s next generation of technology and founders. He also noted that Hatch 8 has supported and graduated over 100 startups, including notable success stories such as Vyro. 

The graduated cohort represented a diverse range of sectors including Marine Refuge, Parhlai, RAISC, SMEAT, Ecoflourish, 7BOT Technologies, C-Vision and the featured startups we met on our women-led online session, Gesture Vox and OfficeFlowAI. 

During the ceremony, C-Vision, OfficeFlow AI, and Gesture Vox were awarded launch capital in recognition of their progress, execution and growth potential. The graduation highlighted the Park’s continued role in supporting high-potential startups and innovation founders.
