TL;DR:
Cultivating innovation not only involves attentively evaluating the latest developments in our business but also actively engaging in promising initiatives that offer solutions that speed the growth of tokenized economies.
It has been a span of four months since the launch of the application process for our Accelerator Program, which is conducted in collaboration with Tenity. Following a meticulous evaluation of numerous Web3 entrepreneurs, a total of 8 applications out of the almost 200 received from 36 different countries have been selected to participate in our 4-month mentorship program.
The Accelerator Program is scheduled to start on the 5th of September in Belgium, culminating in a Demo Day event in December 2023. The program facilitates a supportive environment in which Keyrock and the selected startups will work closely together, allowing to explore future avenues for partnership.
“We are profoundly grateful to have received applications from almost 200 innovative startups spanning various sectors from around the globe. The process of narrowing this remarkable pool to the final eight was both challenging and inspiring. The selected projects are particularly resonant with Keyrock’s vision and have the potential to play an essential role in the tokenized economy.” – Kevin de Patoul, CEO and co-founder of Keyrock.
The program offers the startups the chance to compete for up to €100k of investment during Demo Day in December, and the winner will be announced at the program graduation ceremony.
