The ICX_Station San Francisco Launchpad Kickoff Party has officially wrapped up. Yesterday, the ICON team alongside 7 teams from Korea, the US, Singapore, and Japan, gathered for the first of ICON’s upcoming Launchpads. ICX_Station is ICON’s accelerator program, focusing on leading the future of blockchain businesses running on the ICON Blockchain.
“All Launchpads have the same mission: Accelerate projects pushing the boundaries of real-world adoption of blockchain technology using the ICON Protocol. With this mission statement in mind, along with the ICON ethos of “Hyperconnect the World”, ICX_Station will open Launchpads around the world to help bring together a global network of investors and entrepreneurs”, stated the official launch announcement.
Henry Lee, Director and Head of Global Business at ICON, tweeted that Min was “sharing his experience being an entrepreneur, enduring the process, and working towards being significant” during a fireside chat.
In attendance were dapps weBloc, Stayge One, ZenSports and more.
We expect more interesting developments to come as the ICX_Station SF Launchpad continues its meetings. Stay tuned for upcoming insights from our interviews with ICON dapps.
