ZILHive Accelerator unveils 8 startups of 2021-2022 batch
The 2021-2022 batch of ZILHive Accelerator projects has been revealed by Zilliqa, a Singapore-based blockchain platform. Six of the eight businesses selected into the Accelerator this year were promoted from the Incubator programme, which started in March. The 14-week ZILHive Incubator paired technical and non-technical participants into teams that could create and construct new Zilliqa blockchain applications.
The ZILHive Accelerator is a six-month programme aimed at taking blockchain-based companies from idea to market. The initiative is part of ZILHive’s end-to-end ecosystem, which aims to support creative blockchain applications at all phases of development. ZILHive Grants will allow startups in the accelerator to seek additional financing to help with pre-launch needs like regulatory compliance or technological integration with third-party apps.
