印度成立地方性区块链创业组织
一段时间以来，印度安得拉邦政府一直希望能够在该地区建立一个区块链创业社区。
昨日，安得拉邦创新协会（后文简称APIS）宣布，正在与Eleven01基金会合作开发区块链人才库，并支持初创企业利用这项新兴技术进行建设。
Eleven01是一家来自安得拉邦的区块链协议的提供商，其区块链协议是与印度IT服务巨头Tech Mahindra合作建立的。这个协议于8月份宣布，主要目的是强化印度的区块链生态系统。
其实，安得拉邦一直都在进行区块链领域的相关探索。
今年早些时候，该州与Covalent Fund签署了一份谅解备忘录，计划启动区块链生态系统，同时建立一个区块链大学，初期投资额为1000万美元。
而去年10月，该州还与一家初创公司ChromaWay合作，在土地登记试点中使用区块链来追踪财产的所有权。
The Indian state government of Andhra Pradesh wants to build a community of blockchain startups in the region.
The Andhra Pradesh Innovation Society (APIS) announced Wednesday that it was partnering with the Eleven01 Foundation to develop a blockchain talent pool and support startups building with the nascent technology.
Eleven01 is a local provider of native blockchain protocols.
APIS is tasked with developing “an exceptional technology startup ecosystem,” according to a press release. As such, the partnership is aimed at using events, activities and mentorship programs to “nurture talent and develop a community” of startups within the state.
Eleven01’s blockchain protocol was built in association with Indian IT services giant Tech Mahindra. The platform was announced back in August, and aimed at strengthening the blockchain ecosystem in the country.
Wednesday’s move is just the latest blockchain-focused effort by the government of Andhra Pradesh. Earlier this year, the state signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Covalent Fund to start a blockchain ecosystem, as well as launch a blockchain university with a $10 million initial investment.
In October last year, the state was also working with startup ChromaWay on a land registry pilot that uses blockchain to track the ownership of property.
