The businesses will share their practices and experiences and provide advice for developing blockchain platforms in finance, agriculture, environment, and education and training while putting forward new solutions for integrating blockchain technologies into their products and creating new value for customers.
Specialists and programmers will have an opportunity to learn the experiences in the development, integration and programming of solutions and join training workshops on the development of blockchain technologies provided by international companies.
A recent report by Grand View Research shows that the global blockchain technology market size was valued at US$5.92 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 85.9% from 2022 to 2030.
According to MarketsandMarkets, Vietnam's blockchain market value is expected to reach nearly $2.5 billion by 2026, a fivefold increase from 2021. Seven of the world's top 200 blockchain-based companies are built by Vietnamese.
Vietnam is also one of the top five-leading blockchain nations. 10 Vietnamese blockchain startups are valued at more than $100 million.
Blockchain companies once developed solutions for decentralized finance (DeFi) and online games (GameFi). In 2022, the blockchain industry has changed to serve other economic areas, which may be a sustainable transition for the industry.
