Global blockchain technology provider nChain has announced the establishment of Block Dojo Philippines, a blockchain incubator seen as a significant step towards positioning the country as the future blockchain hub in Asia.

Established in Bataan, Block Dojo Philippines will provide training, education, upskilling and cross-skilling to homegrown talents and produce a pioneering generation of blockchain companies and professionals in the Philippines.

“Our investment and commitment to supporting Filipino start-ups and entrepreneurs, aligns with our MOU signed last year with the Provincial Government of Bataan,” said Stefan Matthews, nChain group chairman.

“The Dojo has a ‘founder first’ mentality, and our primary goal is to support entrepreneurs in unlocking their potential whilst successfully creating startups that leverage the power of the BSV blockchain,” said James Marchant, Block Dojo chairman. 

“Having established ourselves as one of the UK’s leading tech incubators, responsible for launching more successful blockchain startups than any other incubator or accelerator, the Dojo team are incredibly excited to help entrepreneurs in the Philippines. Providing a springboard for new and innovative businesses whilst helping existing Filipino businesses leverage the power of the blockchain and transition into the Web3 world,” he added.

Bataan Gov. Jose Enriquez Garcia III expressed his support to nChain’s launch of Block Dojo Philippines, saying the incubator will provide the necessary training, education and upskilling to produce a pioneering generation of blockchain companies and professionals in the Philippines.

“I commend nChain for their investment and commitment to supporting Filipino start-ups and entrepreneurs, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact this will have on our province and the country,” added the governor.
