As a leader in our field, we understand our responsibility to foster the future of blockchain. Whether infrastructure or education, we want to be instrumental in the growth and development of the industry. That is why we are pleased to announce, on October 19th, the Ontology team will begin our much-awaited Global University Workshop tour. Starting in South Korea, at Seoul National University, the tour is the largest of its kind in the blockchain industry, visiting 81 top universities around the world, in areas such as the U.S.A., Russia, Europe, and Japan.

What is a Global University Workshop?

With our high-performance public blockchain project and distributed collaboration platform, Ontology’s blockchain framework supports public blockchain systems and enables customization of public blockchains for applications. As a for-profit activity, it is important for those interested in application development to understand a variety of topics.

That’s why our Global University Workshops aim to explain the logic behind blockchain, the keys to business application design, and the new opportunities available post-transformation and how to make the best of them. Furthermore, participants will see first-hand how blockchain technology can transform traditional industries, with speeches from our top technology engineers, such as our Senior Architecture Experts, Ning HU and Edmond CONG.
