Recently, IOST announced its official membership in the Cyberport Incubation Programme in Hong Kong and plans to launch the ‘IOST BaaS (Blockchain as a Service) Solution’ later this year. Furthermore, to enhance the Hong Kong ecosystem comprehensively, IOST will actively engage in strategic collaborations with local Hong Kong clients, continue recruiting local and global distributor partners, and establish cross-domain partnership agreements with global ecosystem partners.
