After a tremendous response to its debut season in 2025, Change Mechanics has launched League of Launchers Season 02 this year, a Premiere AI accelerator bootcamp for students and young builders, in partnership with S&P Global. Backed by a comprehensive ecosystem of learning and outreach partners, the 8-week hybrid program is designed to equip youth across Pakistan with the practical AI skills, mentorship, and hands-on building experience that traditional training programs and internships often fail to offer.
Over the course of the next 8 weeks, 48 participating teams from across the country will move through a structured journey of mentorship, coaching, and weekly hands-on workshops, building real, working MVPs from the ground up. The program will conclude with a Demo Day in front of investors and ecosystem leaders, with the winning team receiving PKR 1,00,000 in prize money and a pathway into Taksh Venture Studio.
The program’s learning partners, GDG Islamabad, Google Cloud Islamabad, Canva Community Islamabad, and GDG Live Pakistan, will deliver dedicated capacity-building sessions throughout the bootcamp, giving participants direct access to the tools and platforms shaping how modern startups are built. League of Launchers’ outreach partners, TechJuice, Akhtar Hameed Khan Foundation, TiE Islamabad, and AuratTech, played a key role in the program’s in-depth, nationwide dissemination, helping the opportunity reach over 50 teams from cities across Pakistan.
The program officially kicked off with an Orientation Ceremony held at NIC Islamabad, the venue and strategic partner of League of Launchers. The ceremony brought together the full Season 02 cohort for the first time, alongside mentors, speakers, and Season 01 alumni, marking the formal start of this year’s journey.
With S&P Global’s partnership and a strengthened network of learning and outreach partners, League of Launchers Season 02 is positioned to be one of the most impactful AI accelerator programs Pakistan has seen, equipping the next generation of founders with the tools, mentorship, and support to turn ideas into real, scalable startups.
“This is our second season, and Pakistan’s youth never fails to amaze us. Watching the impact this program creates, season after season, is exactly why we do this work, empowering young builders in real time and giving them a genuine shot at shaping the future. We couldn’t be more excited for what Season 02 has in store,”
Mehar Alam, Head of Projects, Change Mechanics.
