The indian state ANDHRA PRADESH is planning to boost the growth of blockchain in the region by bringing up 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.
