Blockchain Challenge 2023

 

We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the 5th edition of the Blockchain Challenge, hosted by the Center for Innovative Finance at the University of Basel, in the spring semester of 2023. This collaborative event brought together talented interdisciplinary student teams to work on business cases given by our project partner companies. Their hard work and dedication resulted in the development of innovative solutions for the assigned business cases to be presented to a jury comprised of project partners and experienced blockchain experts at our final gala event.


We sincerely congratulate the winners and all participating teams for their remarkable contributions. We thank everyone, including the professors, experts, and project partners, for their support.
