Citi, IBM, and Ubisoft Partners with Singapore Blockchain Accelerator
Citi, IBM, and Ubisoft have partnered with Tribe Accelerator, a Singapore blockchain accelerator program backed by Enterprise. The accelerator helps startups from industries such as fin-tech, supply chain, and health care bring their blockchain solutions to market and scale internationally.
The addition of IBM, Citi, and Ubisoft will give participating start-ups greater access to international markets and resources beyond Singapore. Since the launch of the program in Dec 2018, it has gained support from government and corporates including –
- AXA
- BWD Group Asia
- Intel
- R3
- Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA)
- Nielsen
- PWC
- Temasek
The upcoming 4-month cohort program includes start-ups
- Binance-backed Torus, a digital identity and password management firm,
- Bluzelle, a distributed open-source database service provider,
- An on-demand telehealth start-up WhiteCoat,
- SGInnovate-backed Irish start-up AID: Tech, and
- Customer loyalty management platform Aqilliz.
In July this year, Tribe Accelerator helped the growth-early blockchain start-ups raise over $16.8 million within three months of a global demo-tour across Singapore, Shanghai, Seoul, and San Francisco. It also integrates Singapore’s GovTech OpenCerts, a national platform for issuing and validating academic certificates that are tamper-resistant, with promising start-ups.
