Hedera Hashgraph has formed a strategic partnership with the Swiss Digital Assets Institute (SDAI), a professional training and education firm, to provide a custom-designed worldwide “Hashgraph Innovation Program” from Switzerland. Hedera has set aside $16.3 million in hbar grant funds for the newly formed, non-profit Swiss Hashgraph Association’s ramp-up phase of its Hashgraph Innovation Program, which will be delivered by SDAI. This training and innovation programme aims to enable innovative startups, enterprises, and government institutions worldwide to design and create enterprise-grade solutions and decentralised applications on the Hedera network.
The Hedera network is owned and controlled by the Hedera Council, a group of the world’s major organisations in charge of governing the network, running nodes, and dispersing the network’s hbar treasury. Last year, the Council authorised the distribution of 10.7 billion hbars (20% of total supply), valued at $5 billion at the time, to further expand the Hedera ecosystem.
The Hashgraph Innovation Program is designed to be provided over five years and in three parts. Participants in the programme who qualify and obtain funding from the Swiss Hashgraph Association will go through three development stages:
- Learn and Discover
- Visualize & Design
- Develop & Deploy
The Swiss Hashgraph Association needs to prioritize digital business enablement and the preservation of decentralised technology structures for the global community through the adoption of cutting-edge distributed ledger technologies (DLT), including funding, training and innovation for the benefit of digital.
