Back in March of this year, Insolar was accepted into the University of California, Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator Program. The accelerator program is funded by a unique VC fund focused on investing in UC Berkeley’s blockchain ecosystem and was created to bring the best minds in blockchain together with innovative companies creating solutions using DLT.

Berkeley University is ranked as the world’s number one public university, and fourth globally according to U.S. News Best Global Universities Rankings, and is right at the forefront of innovation in emerging tech, such as blockchain. The SCET Blockchain X-Lab was established to provide the university community with expertise and knowledge resources to develop projects that are set to shape the future of blockchain.

Insolar was selected to be part of the first cohort of the Xcelerator Program participants and presented its project, Insolar Blockchain Platform, at the University’s Spring 2019 Demo Day. Insolar’s Head of Innovation, Pavel Kirillov, travelled to the Californian university to present the project to a select group of 100+ enterprise representatives, venture capital investors, entrepreneurs and government officials.

You can watch Pavel’s short presentation on the SCET Berkeley’s YouTube channel.

“UC Berkeley attracts some of the most talented individuals from around the world and is an innovation hub. Among Berkeley’s alumni are co-founders of billion-dollar firms such as Apple and Tesla. Over the past three months, Insolar’s core technology and go to market strategy have been validated, and we are delighted to be part of one of the biggest blockchain ecosystems worldwide. The positive feedback from technical experts and entrepreneurs demonstrated that we are heading in the right direction,” noted Pavel Kirillov, Insolar Head of Innovation.
