Blockchers selects their first batch of startups
12 companies from 8 countries have been selected to join one of the most vibrant programmes
for startups in the blockchain scene.
12 companies will demonstrate the viability of blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
(DLTs) in traditional SMEs across Europe.
The programme, supported with funds from the Horizon 2020 programme, will start their
operations now in September with several dedicated trainings for their companies. During the
9th
and 10th
of October the whole Blockchers’ community will mingle together in an event in
Budapest, where a demolition pitch contest will be held. Out of this meet-up only 8 teams will
move forward to the “implementation” stage of the programme.
The objective of this new stage will be to implement DLT technologies in
existing SMEs from a wide range of sectors across Europe. A company could
obtain up to €50,000 equity-free at the end of the programme. So far, the
12 teams will be receiving €3,000 and a range of free trainings and services
during the initial weeks of the programme.
