Blockchain Pasifik is a local PNG firm based in Port Moresby comprising of PNG blockchain practitioners and experienced event managers. It was established to start the blockchain conversation, with no analogue in PNG and the Pacific.
Its featured events include Blockchain Pasifik Policy Conference, ABAC and Blockchain Pasifik Leaders meeting, Blockchain StartUp Exhibition, Blockchain Junior Project and the Shark Tank.
Amongst others, the Blockchain Junior Project has been launched in partnership with Em Stret Limited and fully funded by Australian Government to run a Blockchain Startup Competition in PNG schools.
Four schools in the National Capital District have been identified to participate in the inaugural challenge; Port Moresby International School (POMIS), Kila Kila Secondary School, Don Bosco Technical Institute, and Kopkop College.
The competition requirement is for each School Team to prepare a Proof of Concept Paper on blockchain projects for PNG or the Pacific.
The teams will pitch their ideas during the PNG Leaders blockchain session on 10th October, at the grand event, and will be judged by blockchain experts from all over the world.
The top concepts will win cash prizes and possible funding from investors or government.
Outstanding individual talents will be placed in a talent pool for further development via junior internships under blockchain projects in PNG, or abroad. – Via Garamut News.
