6th Global Blockchain Congress by Agora Group on February 9th in Dubai.

The 6th edition of the world-renowned flagship Global Blockchain Congress by Agora Group I staking place on February 9th and 10th 2021 in Dubai.

The first five editions of the Global Blockchain congress were a tremendous success and we were able to host more than 450 investors and more than 90 blockchain startups and were able to raise Millions in funds for our participating projects.

“Pitches are good and all, but have you ever sat on a table for 8 hours with 30 minutes one-on-one meetings with 50 rotating investors? Agora is next level. I went to this conference last year, and it was like speed dating with investors. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE. If you’re in Dubai or can get there, and are looking to raise funds for your project, this is your jam.”
