We are excited to share that The Brave Next has officially been selected for incubation as part of the 3rd Cohort at IU CORE (Center of Research and Entrepreneurship), a prestigious initiative by Iqra University. This milestone represents more than just a business opportunity—it marks a pivotal moment in our mission to revolutionize safety and automation in Pakistan’s industrial sector and beyond.
Our inclusion in IU CORE is a validation of the innovation we’re driving in AI, computer vision, and workforce safety. It is also a signal that our work has real-world relevance in solving today’s most pressing industrial challenges.
Innovating Safety Through Technology
Industrial environments are some of the most challenging and high-risk workplaces in the world. From construction sites and warehouses to oil refineries and manufacturing plants, ensuring worker safety is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a moral responsibility. Yet, traditional safety monitoring systems often fall short, relying on manual checks, outdated reporting methods, and reactive approaches to risk management.
That’s where The Brave Next steps in.
We are building AI-powered safety monitoring systems that leverage computer vision, real-time alerts, and automated data reporting to transform how safety is managed on-site. Whether it’s detecting missing PPE (personal protective equipment), identifying unsafe behaviors like unauthorized zone entry, or creating detailed compliance reports, our technology enables proactive safety management. It not only reduces the likelihood of accidents but also enhances operational efficiency, saving time, money, and—most importantly—lives.
Why IU CORE Matters
Being incubated at IU CORE is more than just a badge of honor—it’s a catalyst for growth.
IU CORE isn’t just a space where ideas are incubated; it’s where they are scaled. As an institution committed to research, innovation, and entrepreneurship, Iqra University has built a robust platform that supports early-stage startups in turning their prototypes into products and their visions into ventures.
What makes IU CORE especially valuable for The Brave Next is the ecosystem it offers:
-
Mentorship from Industry Experts: Access to experienced professionals across AI, industrial tech, and entrepreneurship.
-
Collaborative Workspace: A dynamic environment where startups can exchange ideas and build meaningful partnerships.
-
Funding and Grant Channels: Exposure to investors, funding programs, and grants designed to fuel innovation.
-
Technical Resources: Access to university labs, research tools, and development resources that help speed up product iterations.
Being part of such an environment means we’re no longer working in isolation. We’re plugged into a community that thrives on solving complex problems and supporting one another.
Building a Real-World Impact with AI
Our solutions are not built in theory—they are tested and deployed on active industrial sites. This makes the support we receive from IU CORE even more vital. It allows us to:
-
Enhance the scalability of our AI models
-
Improve system accuracy and reporting features
-
Explore integrations with IoT and edge computing
-
Prepare for larger pilot projects and enterprise rollouts
Already, The Brave Next has supported safety monitoring on numerous job sites. With this incubation support, we aim to go even further—offering predictive safety insights, integration with ERP systems, and multilingual reporting capabilities. We want to empower EHS (Environmental, Health & Safety) teams with tools that don’t just inform them—but equip them to act faster and smarter.
A Thriving Community of Changemakers
Joining IU CORE’s 3rd Cohort places us among a vibrant, multi-sectoral group of startups and founders. From healthcare and education to fintech and industrial solutions, the diversity of this cohort presents a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration.
We believe true innovation often happens at the intersection of different disciplines. At IU CORE, we’re not just working on our own product—we’re learning from peers, exploring collaborative synergies, and growing within a culture that celebrates experimentation and resilience.
The startup journey is rarely linear. But with the support of a forward-thinking institution like Iqra University and the dynamic community at IU CORE, we’re confident that we are moving in the right direction—towards a smarter, safer future for industries everywhere.
Looking Ahead
Our goals for the coming months are clear:
-
Launch extended pilots with industrial partners
-
Fine-tune product-market fit across sectors
-
Build stronger collaborations with other IU CORE startups
-
Continue pushing the boundaries of AI for real-time safety
We are also planning educational initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of AI in safety compliance, while contributing to broader discussions around sustainable industrial development in Pakistan.
Our long-term vision is bold: to become Pakistan’s leading provider of AI safety and automation solutions—and eventually expand into global markets. IU CORE gives us the tools and community to make this vision a reality.
