Blockchain technology is reshaping industries worldwide, and Binance Academy is at the forefront of this digital revolution. We're thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Pakistan's Ministry of IT and Telecom (MoITT) aimed to advance blockchain education across the nation. This collaboration will empower educators and students with highly relevant knowledge and skills, fostering a new generation of blockchain professionals in Pakistan.
A Landmark Partnership for Pakistan's Digital Future
Set to launch in the coming months, this initiative is designed to become a powerful catalyst for change, contributing to the strengthening of the Web3 workforce in Pakistan and beyond. By 2026, we aim to:
Train 300 educators in blockchain engineering
Reach 80,000 students across 20 leading universities in Pakistan
Create a robust pipeline of blockchain talent ready to contribute to local and global tech ecosystems.
This ambitious project aligns with the objectives of the Global University Outreach Program (GUOP), the world's largest Web3 educational initiative. Launched through a strategic collaboration between Binance Academy and the Blockchain & AI Technology Center (BAITC), the GUOP integrates blockchain education into university curricula worldwide.
Empowering Educators Through Intensive Training
The program is designed to provide a holistic understanding of blockchain development, covering BNB Chain fundamentals, key Web3 concepts, and Solidity development principles. It will equip participants with the tools to independently teach blockchain curricula to their students and award certificates of completion to both professors and students.
"As blockchain reshapes the global financial landscape, empowering people with the right skills is essential to unlocking its potential," said Bader Al Kalooti, MEASA Head of Growth and Operations at Binance. "Our collaboration with the Ministry of IT and Telecom in Pakistan marks a significant step toward building a knowledgeable workforce ready to drive innovation and foster growth in the digital economy."
Accelerating Pakistan's Digital Transformation
This partnership is a significant step in Pakistan's journey toward digital transformation. Investing in education not only enhances individual career prospects but also contributes to the nation's economic growth.
The Minister of IT and Telecom, Ms. Shaza Fatima Khawaja, expressed strong support for the program, stating: "This partnership marks an important milestone in the country’s digital transformation. It contributes to economic growth and positions Pakistan as a global source of skilled blockchain talent. By joining forces with the world’s leading crypto exchange, Binance, along with the Blockchain & AI Technology Center, we are equipping our students with cutting-edge knowledge, preparing them to shape the future of the digital economy and strengthen Pakistan’s presence in the global tech landscape."
Binance Academy's Commitment to Global Education
Since 2022, Binance Academy has empowered over 3,000 students across 13 universities in three provinces in Pakistan with market-ready Web3 skills through dedicated training initiatives. This new partnership amplifies our commitment to fostering digital literacy and blockchain proficiency on a much larger scale.
The Global University Outreach Program began its journey in 2023 with a pioneering pilot in Kazakhstan and has since expanded to 20 countries. With the ambitious goal of reaching over 200 universities across 50+ countries, the program aims to educate more than one million students by 2026.
Final Thoughts
As we roll out this program, we'll keep the Binance community updated with the latest developments, success stories, and opportunities to get involved.
By aligning with local standards and supporting the education of future leaders, we aim to contribute to a well-regulated, consumer-protective digital landscape that advances Pakistan's position in the evolving global digital economy.
