presents

Internet 3.0 - Blockchain & AI

The new Internet is being built – more secure and decentralized. How will it change the world?

The first blockchain event of the academic year at Tsinghua University will host two Silicon Valley founders. It will be co-organized by the Tsinghua University International Students Blockchain Association and the Tsinghua Chapter of Startup Grind University Beijing. Come to Tsinghua and learn from Blockchain professionals:

·How will the new decentralized economy serve people’s needs?

·Most blockchains don’t scale. How can this problem be solved?

·Know how blockchain technology is shaping the marketplace

The founders of Harmony and Third Planet believe that in the foreseeable future there will be a paradigm shift from the status quo to what they call the Internet 3.0. The speakers will share their knowledge in the field and share insights on use cases and business built on and around blockchain technology. This event will NOT revolve around token sales. The aim is to educate and share experiences on blockchain technology and crypto-economics as such.
