Blockchain Academy has joined the Cointelegraph Accelerator.
While the blockchain industry is often considered highly dependent on the performance of crypto prices, 2023 shows that Web3 development and innovation thrive independent of market fluctuations. Even during the so-called “Cryto Winter,” new trends such as Web3 gaming and Real-world asset (RWA) simulation have emerged, highlighting the industry's resilience and adaptability. This raises a critical question: Does the current talent pool have the capacity to rapidly support the Web3 ecosystem into untapped areas?
The short answer is no. Blockchain is a highly versatile technology that requires a new layer of education in software development and engineering skills. A lack of talent, coupled with the industry's rapid growth, creates a barrier to Web3 innovation and further development, according to reports.
Blockchain Academy, an educational platform and community dedicated to Web3, aims to increase Web3 adoption in education. A Hong Kong-based educational platform that combines academic interests with industry practice through a curriculum developed with the support of top universities.
With a mission to “bring the next million talents to the Web3,” Blockchain Academy provides comprehensive support to developers, entrepreneurs, and founders in the Web3 realm and beyond. It has the support of famous Asian universities, including the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, which is a theoretically sound and practical education.
