NEAR Balkans Regional Hub
NEAR Balkans Hub is among the first NEAR Ecosystem Regional Hubs set up globally.
It was established through a collaboration between the NEAR Foundation and the Borderless Tech Association.
NEAR Balkans was created in order to promote and accelerate web3 open source eco-system development.
NEAR Balkans goals:
Educate the community and demonstrate the potential of web 3 for development across the Balkan region through a series of meetups, hackathons, university partnerships, and much more.
Facilitate innovation and help project development within the NEAR Ecosystem through partnerships with teams, companies and organizations across Balkan.
Guide and help companies in the region develop projects and easily apply for fast grants and other types of funding.
Certified Education programs and internships.
