Commenting on the enthusiastic participation, Moonis Alvi, CEO K-Electric stated: “The overwhelming response to EPIC 2025 affirms our belief in the potential of Pakistan’s innovators to reimagine the future of energy. We are proud to provide a platform that fosters fresh ideas, and we look forward to collaborating with participants to create solutions that strengthen our sector and serve our communities, thus highlighting the immense potential our country possesses.”
