The Ticino Blockchain Technologies Association is member of the Ticino Chamber of Commerce and Industry located in the city of Lugano, Switzerland.
The blockchain ecosystem links two main drivers of innovation: universities and research centers on the one hand, and private companies, which transform scientific knowledge into economic wealth, on the other. What will take place in Ticino is therefore a complex process of economic enhancement of education and scientific and technological research, which flows from universities and Research Institutes, which is then distributed (employees and research results) over the territory, while offering enterprises the ability to capitalize on the results of the research by showcasing and deploying marketable products.
Focus 1
Focus 2
Partners regardless of their nature, are united by the "sacred fire of innovation", and are engaged, with different roles, in producing economic value starting from scientific and technological research
Focus 3
