Blockchain X-Lab Sponsorship
With Blockchain's emergence as a key technology garnering tremendous interest in a broad variety of industries, SCET launched the Berkeley Blockchain X-Lab in August 2017 to facilitate experimentation and learning for
Sponsors with students, researchers, and faculty at Berkeley.
If you'd like to join us as a
Sponsor, please scroll down for options and details.
Additionally, in early 2019, we will expand this effort and launch our Blockchain Xcelerator.
For Industry - Many global and Silicon Valley firms are strategizing to prepare for the market shifts that will occur due to blockchain technology.
A collaboration with Berkeley SCET's Blockchain X-Lab can aid firms in accelerating development through joint projects, training, hackathons, demo environments, etc., as well as, connections to others in our network, engagement with our exceptional students and faculty, and furthering awareness on campus and beyond for their blockchain efforts.
