Cyberport joins hands with industry to foster Blockchain development

Blockchain technology has been gaining prominence in tech innovation across the world, while its applications in FinTech have been progressing rapidly. As Hong Kong’s largest FinTech community, Cyberport has been cultivating and nurturing Hong Kong’s blockchain cluster.

 

Cyberport is always working with different industry players to organise blockchain workshops, bootcamps, and other practical training to cultivate more talent for the industry and to help Hong Kong capture more opportunities in this leading technology front. Hyperledger, the world’s largest blockchain consortium, and the Financial Blockchain Shenzhen Consortium (FISCO), the Mainland blockchain pioneer, are among the partners Cyberport is collaborating with recently.

 

As a member of the global blockchain community, Cyberport also led the blockchain enterprises to participate in the Hong Kong Blockchain Week in early March, in which 3,000 industry elites including investment institutions, government delegates, start-ups, academic institutions and financial services giants from more than 50 countries, gathered to discuss the latest developments in blockchain technology.

 

“By offering systematised blockchain training, we hope to strengthen Cyberport’s support for blockchain and attract more innovative talent to join the blockchain industry. We will also connect these blockchain experts with other industries to encourage the development of more market-ready blockchain products and services,” said Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport. “I look forward to working with the industry to accelerate the application of blockchain and foster Hong Kong to become the leading international blockchain hub," he added.

 

BlockO2O, one of the event in the Hong Kong Blockchain Week, was hosted by Cyberport community member NexChange Group and co-organised by Cyberport.  It was the first time that a blockchain event of substantial scale and calibre was organised in Hong Kong. Cyberport, firmly committed to promoting this transformative technology, gladly supported the endeavour. Charles Lam, Senior Manager of FinTech & Blockchain, Cluster Team, hosted a panel session to discuss the community’s blockchain developments, applications and trends, together with Hashkey Group, Armada Chain, and Loopnest Accelerator.
