Pakistan’s top investors gathered at NIC Islamabad for groundbreaking startup pitches investing in the future of innovation.
Islamabad, October 8, 2025 — Pakistan’s top investors and venture capitalists gathered
at the National Incubation Center (NIC) Islamabad for the Annual Investors Summit
2025, where NIC’s homegrown startups took the stage to present bold, problem-solving
innovations shaping the country’s future.
Organized under the Ministry of IT & Telecom and Ignite – National Technology Fund,
the summit featured an exclusive lineup of NIC Islamabad startups, including EZGyser,
Pani Express, Chrio, EKKO, EPO, EMR, Carboncap, Your Munshi, and Bio Nano.
The event served as a bridge between innovation and investment, connecting visionary
founders with the investors driving Pakistan’s entrepreneurial growth.
Among the standout pitches was EZGyser, a startup tackling one of Pakistan’s everyday
challenges — access to hot water during winters. With power outages and rising gas
prices, households face constant hassle and safety risks from repeatedly relighting
geysers. EZGyser’s smart, energy-efficient system offers an affordable, safe, and
sustainable solution that transforms how families experience comfort at home.
Another highlight was Pani Express, solving the problem of unreliable and informal
water supply in urban Pakistan.
Millions of households depend on inconsistent tanker
services with no transparency or delivery assurance. Pani Express brings order to this
chaos through a tech-driven platform that ensures timely, transparent, and reliable
access to clean water — a major step toward improving urban living standards.
Meanwhile, Chrio captured investors’ attention with its cutting-edge AI solution
revolutionizing cricket broadcasting. By automating real-time video analysis and visual
rendering, Chrio eliminates the need for expensive broadcast tools and large crews,
making professional-level insights accessible for every match and league — a true leap
for Pakistan’s sports-tech sector.
The summit also featured an engaging panel discussion titled “The Deal Room: What
Would It Take for Us to Write a Check Today?”, where investors shared candid insights
into what makes a startup investment-ready.
The panel of judges included Abaiz Bin Abdullah (Fatima Gobi), Kamil Aziz (Zayn
VC), Sumraiz (Indus VC), Usman Khalid (GroundUp), Moiz Waseem (sAi Ventures),
Nayab Baber (PSF), Qamar Malik (Pak Angels), Ms. Janine Rohwer (German
Embassy), Kabri Naqvi (Abhi Micro Finance), Quratulain Chaudhary (MMBL), Haris
Shah (Abhi Micro Finance), Sikandar Khan (22Ventures), Rohma Labeeb and Ayaz
Khan (Accelerate Prosperity), among others.
Abaiz Bin Abdullah (Fatima Gobi Ventures) shared, “NIC Islamabad continues to
produce startups that are not only innovative but deeply relevant to Pakistan’s realities.
The solutions we’ve seen today could transform entire industries.”
As the summit concluded, NIC Islamabad presented appreciation shields to investors
and partners in recognition of their continued support. The event ended with a lively
Networking High Tea, reinforcing NIC Islamabad’s commitment to connecting
innovation with opportunity and building a stronger, more inclusive entrepreneurial
ecosystem.
