Accelerating our app marketplace through the Innovation Hub

The Centrality Ventures Innovation Hub is a fully immersive blockchain incubator designed to help scale projects within a blockchain ecosystem.

There are a number of challenges for startups wanting to develop applications in a blockchain environment. But the biggest hurdles by far are the effort and resources required to start from scratch. Realising this Centrality created the Innovation Hub, an incubator to accelerate its efforts of creating a decentralised app marketplace.

The aim is to attract likeminded innovators and leverage Centrality’s global resources to collectively bring decentralisation to the world. It’s an opportunity for teams to work closely with Centrality and receive support to move applications into production and mass market adoption.

The Innovation Hub sits within Centrality Ventures, the arm of the business that invests in projects that are doing innovative things in blockchain. Teams selected to participate in the Innovation Hub get access to Centrality’s world-class developers, business development and marketing teams. Centrality provides funding which sees through the production of a minimal viable product and supercharges the production of a decentralised app.

Our idea is to have 1,000 zebras, not just one unicorn. We want to create a stampede of businesses that are creating new innovation in the decentralised marketplace — Centrality CEO Aaron McDonald

The current intake is currently in session and a number of applications are in development. Centrality’s ambition is to create a network of innovation hubs around the world and enable its marketplace of apps to thrive — applications will be open again soon.

If you have an innovative idea for projects or platforms that use, or could benefit from, a blockchain-based tech stack, be sure to keep an eye out for updates. Later this year Centrality will be looking for more teams to apply for its incubator programme, including both impactful consumer-facing applications as well as infrastructure-level platforms.
