GLOBAL BLOCKCHAIN CONGRESS, LONDON

Agora logo
Agora is proud to announce the expansion of our Global Blockchain Congress to Europe

The Global Blockchain Congress is a truly international event with editions taking place in Dubai, Hanoi, Doha and London. The Global Blockchain Congress – European edition leverages the experience gained through the hosting of 11 editions in Dubai and one in Vietnam to ensure maximum return on investment for all our sponsors.

The previous editions of the Global Blockchain Congress were a tremendous success and we were able to host 1,000+ investors and 250+blockchain startups and were able to raise millions in funds for our participating projects. This is not a conference nor an exhibition. This is an exclusive, closed-door, congress between investors and hand-picked Blockchain projects looking to raise funds. It is the only event of its kind and it will bring together qualified investors (VCs, Private Equity Firms, Family Offices, Crypto Funds and High Networth Individuals) with Digital Assets Startups through a series of pre-scheduled and pre-arranged one-on-one meetings. Startup founders from all over the world need financial advocates on their side. Raising funds and receiving funding is vital to the growth and success of startups. NOW is the right time for international startups to tap into a pool of highly engaged investors who are actively looking to invest in exciting and promising companies.

When we participated in the 1st edition of the Global Bockchain Congress, we were able to secure funding and partnerships that allowed us to get to where we are today. To all the Blockchain projects, whether in the early or advanced stages, we assure you that the Global Blockchain Congress experience is unlike any other summit. This Congress is an exclusive, closed-door opportunity to connect with the greatest investors from the MENA region.

The 8th edition of the Global Blockchain Congress was the first conference organized by Agora we attended and the results speak for themselves. Conreality achieved the company goal of attracting international investors for its upcoming seed round. We were happy to be the Gaming Partner for the event and are looking forward for the future cooperation with Agora!

I have been to many events but this was something special, sponsoring this event was more than worth it, as a startup you need events like this to help you not only to receive funding but to connect with those who have already been through similar stages and became great successes. It was a well organised and intense event, well done to Agora Group and all of the teams involved in making this a truly unique experience for us so far.

Our experience with Agora was exceptional. Every promise exceeded, every opportunity to engage with the right funds exploited. But the real key was that it was all so well curated. Having done so many of these events I have never had such a high hit rate! Of the 22 funds we spoke to we had 20 with a strong fit. The dinner was a hit and the time we enjoyed in the Cleopatra Suite will create lifelong relationships. I don’t know how Agora does it, but each event is more amazing than the last.
