Block Engine is a structured incubator program focused on supporting early stage start-ups in the emerging area of blockchain technology. The program runs under three pillars: select the most promising startups applying blockchain technology, nurture through a structured 10-week [1] course of workshops, mentor sessions and community events, and connect and support through facilitating connections with investors and continually supporting them through the alumni program.

As part of the Blockchain Centre Melbourne, Australia’s largest community of blockchain technology entrepreneurs, experts, mentors and investors, we can support and develop startups in growing their business, strengthening their commercial viability and increasing their competitiveness in domestic and international markets.

The Block Engine Education program is focussed into two areas.

• Blockchain Technology – provides overall insight into blockchain technology and connections with the industry. It is tailored for professionals who are highly experienced individuals and possess business knowledge but would like to learn how to apply blockchain technology, as a business solution.

•  Business Education – this section provides business knowledge, industry connections and introduction to investors. It is tailored for blockchain or “tech savvy” individuals who have an idea for a new business concept but may lack the  business know-how to establish the company beyond ideation stage. This allows access to a wide network of connections and investors to fund & mentor their project.

To be a startup, educator, mentor or sponsor of the next program, please submit your details in the form below.
