“Lighting the Path to Knowledge and Innovation”
At a time when the world demands innovative thinking, inclusive institutions, and empowered communities, we are proud to announce the launch of the Junaid Zaidi Foundation—an initiative built on decades of visionary leadership and service by Dr. S. M. Junaid Zaidi, H.I., S.I.
Dr. Zaidi is not only the founder of COMSATS University Islamabad, one of Pakistan’s most respected centers of higher education, but also a global advisor, educator, and technologist. Through his work with the United Nations, the Government of Pakistan, and countless educational and scientific institutions, he has consistently proven that ideas can be transformed into institutions—and institutions into lasting impact.
Why the Junaid Zaidi Foundation?
The Foundation was born out of a desire to expand this legacy—turning proven expertise into scalable solutions for today’s most pressing challenges. Our focus areas are strategically aligned to meet the needs of both emerging economies and global knowledge systems:
- Education & Scholarships
- Research & Innovation Hubs
- Digital Transformation
- Policy & Institutional Advisory
- Global Knowledge Exchange

Whether it’s supporting first-generation university students, building digital infrastructure for remote communities, or designing technology policy with international agencies, our work is grounded in impact and guided by the belief that knowledge must be shared to create lasting change.
