Singapore continues to be a global leader in blockchain development. Reports from the government-sponsored blockchain accelerator, Tribe Accelerator, confirm the selection of ten blockchain based projects for its Tribe Accelerator product development program. The blockchain accelerator will work together with the management and development teams from the ten projects providing resources, education and mentorship during the period.

Tribe Accelerator is a TRIVE Ventures, a South East Asia venture capital firm, subsidiary.

The management team at Tribe, external and internal investors and a team of curated corporate members selected the team of 10 who will work under the accelerator. The team comprises of five local startups (from Singapore) and other blockchain projects across the world. The selection looked for innovative and solution-based projects in the Fintech & Insurtech, Mobility & Supply chain, Energy & Sustainability and Data & Communication industries.

Speaking on the release of the competition winners, the managing partner at Tribe Accelerator, Yi Ming Ng, showed enthusiasm on the future of their accelerator program. He looks forward to working with the startups and helping them set up strong partnerships with its corporate and other global partners. He said,

“We hope to give them [companies] the resources they need to excel, and we are excited to see what the startups will be able to accomplish when integrated into our dynamic network of global partners from both the corporate and blockchain ecosystem.”

The ten companies currently in the program gained selection over the hundreds of startups registered in the program. Startups in the Tribe Accelerator program will gain validation as the Singapore government will be actively involved in their development.
