The Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC) has entered into a strategic collaboration with the Cardano Foundation, marking a significant step forward in advancing blockchain education and technology adoption across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
This partnership follows the initial announcement at the Dubai TOKEN2049 event and represents a major milestone in bringing together two forces in the blockchain industry.
The agreement sets the stage for an innovative series of educational initiatives, including two masterclasses designed to elevate the understanding and practical application of advanced blockchain technologies among industry professionals.
The first of these, titled “Blockchain Technology Fundamentals for Enterprise Enablement,” is scheduled to take place at Emirates Towers in September 2024. This will be followed by a second masterclass during the highly anticipated Cardano Summit on 23-24 October 2024. These sessions will not only cover the core principles of third-generation blockchain but will also delve into its transformative potential for enterprises, particularly in sectors such as supply chain management, digital assets, and climate impact.
The collaboration is particularly notable for integrating the Cardano Academy’s educational resources with DBCC’s training programs and the collaboration is expected to provide unparalleled learning opportunities, equipping participants with the knowledge required to drive blockchain adoption within their organizations.
