NIC Peshawar recently hosted an insightful session with Haris Khan, Binance Angel, exploring the evolving world of blockchain, Web3, and digital assets. The session gave the incubator’s startup community direct access to someone actively involved with Binance’s ambassador network, offering perspectives shaped by close engagement with the broader global cryptocurrency and blockchain industry.
The session gave founders practical insights into emerging opportunities, industry trends, and the potential of blockchain powered solutions, moving beyond a purely theoretical introduction to blockchain technology into more applied discussion of where the sector may be headed and how startups could potentially build within this space. This kind of practical framing is particularly relevant for founders in Pakistan, where blockchain and Web3 adoption has remained more limited compared to some other emerging markets.
Khan’s role as a Binance Angel positions him within a network of community representatives associated with Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, giving him direct exposure to developments within the broader digital asset industry. His session at NIC Peshawar reflects a growing pattern of blockchain and crypto industry figures engaging with Pakistan’s startup ecosystem, offering local founders exposure to global trends within a sector that continues to evolve rapidly.
The session also created an engaging space for founders to ask questions, exchange ideas, and better understand the future of decentralized technologies, giving participants an interactive format rather than a purely one directional presentation. This exchange allowed founders to raise specific questions relevant to their own potential interest in blockchain applications, rather than receiving only general industry commentary.
The event was supported by Ignite National Technology Fund, Ministry Of IT and Telecommunication, LMKT, Orbit Startups, Accelerate Prosperity, Sybrid, and academic institutions including IM Sciences, Rehman Medical Institute, and CECOS University, alongside Frontier Platinum, reflecting the broad institutional network tied to NIC Peshawar’s Cohort 16 programming. The session adds to NIC Peshawar’s continued effort to expose its startup community to emerging technology trends beyond more conventional software and AI focused topics, broadening the technical horizons available to founders within its cohort.
