Hosted in #Copenhagen, Denmark, on November 4-5 2025, co-organised by @UNDP AltFinLab, the two day Forum isn't just another #web3 event; it's a coalition of the world's leaders pushing for real-world change through #blockchain, matching builders with institutional demand for groundbreaking solutions.
The invite-only Day 1 features impactful sessions with policy makers, @UN officials and blockchain pioneers. Panels, fireside chats, and deep discussions will form the foundation of BGA's inaugural Impact Report on the state of blockchain for good.
Join us for the annual #BGAwards on Day 2 at T13 Nordhavn, a public convention featuring the top SDG-aligned projects from the BGA incubation programme and SDG Blockchain Accelerator, with live pitches, networking, and a spotlight awards ceremony honoring the top innovators for good in 2025.
As @benbybit, CEO of @Bybit_Official and BGA's Initiator, says: "Blockchain for Good is not just an idea; it's a systems-level shift building bridges between technologists, governments, and communities to achieve the #SDGs."
Join us this November to collaborate on a #sustainable blockchain ecosystem. Let's make real impact!
