Post# of 119
Taipei is quickly proving that it is a central hub for Web3 and artificial intelligence (AI) innovation in the Asian continent. The upcoming Asia Blockchain Summit 2024 (ABS2024), set to take place from Aug. 6–8, 2024, at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, epitomizes this transformation.
The high-profile event, organized by BlockTempo, a blockchain news media powerhouse, will showcase the city’s leadership in Web3 technology and cutting-edge advancements. ABS2024 is more than just a convention; this annual event, which is in its sixth year, is a convergence of multiple blockchain events and summits, gathering more than 15,000 attendees from more than 65 countries.
What’s more, the summit will feature prominent names in the business and entertainment industry, including actor and entrepreneur Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who will engage in discussions about the intersection of AI, blockchain and governance. Other notable speakers at the summit include Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin; Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s digital minister; and Hester M. Pierce from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Their participation will showcase the city’s prominent position on the global stage.
Additionally, the three-day event features prominent Web3 ecosystems, including TON, GEDA, TRON, Solana, Ethereum, BTC Ordinals and Polkadot, emphasizing Taipei’s strategic position in the global AI tech landscape. The city’s focus on innovation, together with its rich cultural heritage, creates a dynamic atmosphere that inspires creativity and collaboration.
Key events on the agenda include the Open Summit, anticipated to be a groundbreaking event for the global TON community, and Web3 Game Con, recognized as the premier Web3 gaming exhibition globally. This gaming event, hosted by GEDA, will feature live esports tournaments and discussions with industry leaders, highlighting the intersection of blockchain and gaming.
Taipei’s appeal as a global tech hub is further enhanced by its supportive government policies, such as substantial funding for startups and robust infrastructure. The city is becoming a fertile ground for a number of incubators and accelerators, thus fostering a new generation of startups focused on AI and Web3 technologies.
Additionally, the city’s vibrant community of tech enthusiasts, pioneers and innovators fosters an environment ripe for networking and collaboration. Participants are encouraged to take part in workshops, panels and networking opportunities offered during the ABS2024 event as well as share their insights and create partnerships that might lead to industry innovations.
