Be a part of Blockchain Pioneers 2018, the first of a global series that will continue to cities like Berlin and Shanghai, and spread out across more than 3 continents.

The winner will get a chance to compete with winners from other cities and possibly get mentorship and collaboration with DECENT as well.
Besides meeting a lot of new innovators and entrepreneurs, you will have the chance to learn from the domain experts who will host the series of workshops throughout the event.
