A Gathering of Innovators

Held on November 4-5, the forum attracted over 300 attendees from more than 30 countries, including policymakers, technologists, and leaders in various impact sectors. The event provided a platform for participants to examine measurable advancements made possible by blockchain technology, with a specific emphasis on real-world issues such as financial inclusion, sustainability, and digital trust. The interactive sessions included keynote speeches, panel discussions, and project presentations that illuminated the potential of blockchain for social good.

Key Themes of the Forum

The discussions were organized around three main themes:

2. Finance for Inclusion and Impact: This explored how blockchain can democratize access to capital and enhance financial equity.

Prominent speakers included Helen Liu, Co-CEO of Bybit and founder of BGA, Robert Pasicko from UNDP's AltFinLab, and industry leaders from various blockchain organizations. Their insights underscored the evolving role of blockchain in establishing trustworthy systems that bridge innovation with global developmental needs.
