Blockchaingers Hackathon 2018 | Holland FinTech | 5 April 2018 | TBA, Groningen, Netherlands

Our hackathon turns the best of what the Netherlands has to offer into the perfect launch pad for blockchain pioneers with the ambition to make an intercontinental impact,explains Rutger van Zuidam, founder and CEO of DutchChain, the company organizing the Blockchaingers innovation program. “For example, where on earth do you have the opportunity to build on top of the most advanced pension system to unlock its social and economic benefits for the rest of the world? Where do you have the full support of a national government and its regulators to explore the uncharted territory of blockchain technology? Where can you work with international corporates and all their resources to explore the future applications of blockchain? By leveraging the world-class business and governmental infrastructure of the Netherlands and unlocking its potential for international corporates, blockchain companies and startup teams, the Blockchaingers create a scalable international blockchain venture movement.
