Karachi: A Pakistani tech startup was among eleven businesses from around the world that were selected for Google’s accelerator program on sustainable development goals, a statement said on Wednesday.
The program received applications from close to 1,200 startups from Europe, Middle East, and Africa. The successful applicant from Pakistan is Wondertree, a startup that accelerates cognitive and motor development in children with special needs through a variety of movement based therapeutic and educational games.
The startups address a wide range of social and environmental challenges, and are working toward at least one of the 17 sustainable development goals outlined by the United Nations. “The accelerator is part of Google for Startups which help startups build and scale great products by matching them with the best of Google—our people, network and advanced technologies,” the statement added.
