[davinmark]

Hello Stakers!  

So i just read a news that on Nov. 19th, 2018, IBM and Columbia University announced the introduction of two new blockchains startup accelerators as critical components of their center for research, education, and innovation in blockchain technology and data transparency.

and its says that the two accelerator programs will empower companies and their teams with the aid of an expert network of business and technical support teams, workshops from IBM, as well as access to connections to the Columbia research community, student talent pools, and the IBM Cloud technology. 

Both programs are expected to launch in 2019, while IBM Network has already opened nominations.

 

Whats your thought about that?

I think its a great idea . The world is going crypto so why not give all the tools needed to research and educate people on it

With such a large company such as IBM to be so much more involved with blockchain would imply exciting things to come in the future and hopefully more tech-giants would do the same!
