The IOST Foundation is excited to announce our partnership with JustCo to unveil the IOST Launchpad, a global initiative to give promising and talented blockchain founders building on IOST a platform to launch, market and accelerate the growth of their applications.

JustCo — The Leading Co-Working Space Provider In Asia, Now An IOST Node

JustCo Labs has now joined the IOST ecosystem as a Node, and will play a contributing role to the IOST ecosystem.

JustCo is the only Asian-based coworking service provider that has multi-city presence in Asia Pacific, catering to freelancers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small and large enterprises.

Notably, in May 2018, JustCo has received USD177 million in funding from GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, and SGX Mainboard-listed Frasers Property to grow and strengthen their Asian presence. JustCo’s rapid expansion plans will see it continue to grow quickly in multiple cities it already had presence in, like Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, China, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan as well as new markets like Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, India and more.

Alongside JustCo, IOST will benefit from growing our offline penetration into all major Asian economies. With IOST’s deep tech positioning and strong digital footprint, JustCo’s extensive physical presence is complementary to our ecosystem development and will provide the IOST developer community with a full-service launchpad in all major Asian cities.

To kickstart this exciting partnership, IOST and JustCo have lined up a regional series of offline blockchain events and media interviews. These events will be co-branded and co-marketed by IOST and JustCo and aim to bring greater awareness and education to the mass public on blockchain and its numerous benefits. Stay tuned for exciting updates coming up!
