Why is it necessary to have a Blockchain Park?
India already has the largest blockchain developer ecosystem. However, all we need now is a robust environment. That is why this Blockchain park in Goa aims to leverage the opportunities and talent already available and equip deep-tech blockchain startups with technical know-how, accreditation, and policy support from the government. The long-term vision is to provide an impetus to the state economy and create jobs, while the objective is to make Goa a model state when it comes to anything blockchain! This is just the beginning of the Web3 revolution.
How will this program work?
WazirX and Buidlers Tribe have identified investors to support the initiative with a dedicated capital pool throughout the program. For a successful program outcome, the AIC GIM will assist with the required regulatory framework and policy support; Buidlers Tribe will drive the accelerator program and provide ecosystem support, training, mentorship and go-to-market support for impactful solutions. WazirX will aid entrepreneurs to identify the value drivers of these innovative technologies and give them the practical understanding to build solutions. It will also ensure the evolution of policy measures and the creation of a policy framework for accelerating the growth of the start-ups and the Blockchain ecosystem.
