For those who are crypto-curious, passionate about sports, and committed to driving social impact, the Includ3d Accelerator offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn about web3 and incubate innovative ideas with the direct support of leading executives from Chiliz and its wide range of web3 and sports partners.
The Includ3d Accelerator will offer dynamic learning experiences for organizations, innovators, and entrepreneurs who are eager to explore and incubate blockchain use cases that have the potential to accelerate sport’s positive contributions to society, as well as gain guidance from experts on their own blockchain approach.
The programme will explore a wide range of cutting-edge themes, including decentralized governance structures, funding and grant coordination mechanisms, safety and safeguarding, programmable doing good, and financial/social inclusion.
The Includ3d Accelerator will be delivered in collaboration with READY, the leading voice and mobilizer of innovative solutions and emerging technologies for equality and inclusion in and through sport in the rapidly evolving technological and cultural landscape.
