The story
EduLens completed the University Innovation Hub Program (UIHP) — NSU IC-1, a national innovation initiative of the Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority under the ICT Division, supported by The World Bank Group through the DEIED project. The cohort gave EduLens a structured environment, mentorship and feedback.
Why it mattered
It was one of the first external validations for EduLens. The project stopped being something built independently and entered a structured national innovation ecosystem.
What changed after
EduLens became more structured as a startup, and the cohort opened the door to funding, showcasing, mentorship and further ecosystem participation.
