How does Crypto Oasis want to boost blockchain development in the Middle East?
Crypto Oasis is fully focused on connecting crypto enthusiasts to our ecosystem and expanding the wider Inacta group of venture capital and venture building structures in the UAE. Inacta is also one of the founders of the Crypto Valley Association and believes the time is ripe for this collaboration to bring the two regions closer together and bridge the geographical distance. Crypto Oasis is building the ecosystem for organizations in the Web3, non-fungible token and metaverse space.
Arte is the Web3 meta-community initiative of Crypto Oasis. It brings together the Web3 community and individuals around the world to create an enabling environment in the art and technology worlds. It offers a foundation and a platform for local and international communities and individuals to come together to collaborate, create and connect.
What value does Crypto Oasis offer its partners?
Crypto Oasis catalyzes the growth of organizations in the crypto space and, like the Crypto Valley Association, brings together investors, startups, businesses, researchers and public entities. Crypto Oasis is growing at such a fast pace that it has outgrown Switzerland in just two years.
Briefly explain the roles of both entities. How do you see the growth of your ecosystem by the end of the year?
The Crypto Valley Association is based in Zug. The association was founded to take advantage of Switzerland’s strengths to connect startups and established businesses and promote blockchain and cryptographic technology innovation and adoption. Crypto Oasis will lead the Crypto Valley Association Middle East chapter as we connect two of the most active areas of the crypto industry.
The two entities will play complementary roles and accelerate our shared goal of establishing a global blockchain ecosystem. This alliance will connect a fragmented blockchain world with the Middle East which has already become the new hub for crypto and blockchain.
Crypto Oasis is a Middle East-focused blockchain ecosystem that is the fastest growing, with more than 1,000 organizations in the UAE alone. The forecast is to identify over 1,500 established organizations across the region by the end of 2022.
What are your plans for the next two years for Switzerland and the Middle East?
The collaboration between Crypto Valley Association and Crypto Oasis will enable knowledge sharing and exchange between crypto-passionate in Switzerland and in the Middle East. Crypto Oasis has launched a catalog that consolidates our position as thought leaders in the industry.
We will organize several events that will bring everyone together through events and round table discussions where ideas can be exchanged and put into practice. We are excited about the future and look forward to promoting blockchain adoption on a global scale.
