UNDP AltFinLab’s Post

👏 In Copenhagen, innovators from around the world took the stage for the SDG Blockchain Accelerator Showcase, launching Day 2 of the Blockchain Impact Forum with bold ideas and real-world impact.    Ten teams presented their pilots developed with UNDP Country Offices, showing how blockchain can be applied to real challenges – from carbon registries and energy ledgers to digital IDs, traceable waste systems, and inclusive financial tools. Each solution demonstrated the power of technology to make development systems more transparent, accountable, and effective.    Co-organized by UNDP’s AltFinLab and the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), in collaboration with Cointelegraph, Nordic Blockchain Association, GSR Foundation, and Draper University, the showcase marked another step in building a global ecosystem for blockchain for sustainable development.    🏆 The teams will return home not only with recognition, but also with tangible opportunities: incubation and mentorship, equity-free support, financial awards, investor exposure, and media visibility.    Thank you to all innovators and partners who took part — and to everyone who joined us in Copenhagen. Stay tuned for the announcement of the awards! 📣 🥳 Congratulations to all the pitching teams: Cladfy Inc.
