As the sun set, the buzz was palpable in downtown Dubai where invite-only attendees mingled at the “Building Web3: A Night with Dubai Multi Commodities (DMCC), Bybit, and Outlier Ventures” networking event. Held close to Token 2049, the atmosphere was buzzed with the energy of Web3 enthusiasts and pioneers.
Helen Liu, COO of Bybit, took to the mic to share her excitement about the growth of their initiatives. “Our journey in Dubai has been transformative, and through collaborations like the one with DMCC, we've elevated numerous startups in the Web3 space.”
“For example, the Blockchain for Good Alliance, or BGA, represents Bybit's commitment to leveraging blockchain for social impact,” Liui said. “This non-profit initiative aims to reward and support projects that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. Our focus is to provide funding, education, resources, and advisory to projects that use blockchain to make a difference.”
DMCC, the world’s flagship free zone and Government of Dubai Authority on commodities trade and enterprise, played the perfect host alongside Bybit and Outlier Ventures.
“Dubai has truly become a global hub for Web3, and through the DMCC Crypto Centre, we have enabled one of the most supportive ecosystems in the world for entrepreneurs and businesses operating in this space. We have expanded to more than 600 members, the highest concentration of crypto firms in the region, benefitting from a wide range of dedicated services alongside a network of peers and experts. By partnering with industry leaders like Bybit, this has propelled us further to the forefront of the Web3 revolution,” said Belal Jassoma, Director of Ecosystems at DMCC.
Indeed, Bybit, with its formidable presence as a top-three crypto exchange, and Outlier Ventures, celebrated as a leading Web3 accelerator, brought real gravitas to the gathering. “As the world’s largest Web3 accelerator, we have a total portfolio of close to 350 projects,” said Stephan Apel, CEO and founding partner of Outlier Ventures. “It's a privilege to join forces with DMCC and Bybit. Our accelerator programs are set to bring fresh innovation from across the globe to this dynamic region.
As the event wrapped up, attendees left not just with new contacts but with renewed enthusiasm and potential deals that could shape the future of blockchain technology. If the energy last night was anything to go by, the pulse of Web3 is stronger than ever, and its stakeholders are ready to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
