Blockchain Accelerators Gaining Ground in 2019

Blockchain accelerators have been making waves and gaining traction internationally in recent months. 

In March, Singapore government-backed accelerator Tribe formed strategic partnerships with BMW and Intel, both of which will provide expertise to selected startups. BMW’s focus will be on the mobility industry, while Intel will share knowledge acquired through its activities in the blockchain and cryptocurrency mining sectors.

Existing partners of the project include PwC and Icon Foundation, a South Korean blockchain network.
