Bitget Aims to Democratize Blockchain Knowledge in Swiss Academia

Bitget, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has expanded its educational initiatives in the Web3 space by partnering with the European School of Economics (ESN) at Luzern. The collaboration aims to enhance the understanding of blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi) among students and professionals in Switzerland. Under the agreement, Bitget will provide educational content, workshops, and resources to support the development of Web3 literacy in the region. The initiative is part of Bitget's broader strategy to promote blockchain adoption through education and community engagement. This partnership marks one of the first of its kind between a leading crypto exchange and an academic institution in Europe. Bitget has previously collaborated with universities in Asia and North America to develop similar educational programs. The Web3 educational tools provided by Bitget include access to its Learn & Earn platform, which offers interactive courses and incentives for completing educational milestones. The collaboration with ESN Luzern is expected to benefit over 500 students and faculty members in the initial phase. The focus of the program includes blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, NFTs, and DeFi mechanisms. The partnership also includes plans to launch a joint research initiative on the socio-economic impact of blockchain technology. Bitget's CEO highlighted the growing importance of education in the digital asset ecosystem, noting that informed users are essential for long-term adoption and sustainable growth. The partnership aligns with broader industry trends showing increased investment in Web3 education by crypto firms. Bitget reported a 20% increase in user engagement with its educational content over the past six months. This growth underscores the demand for accessible, high-quality educational resources in the cryptocurrency space. The collaboration with ESN Luzern is a strategic move to position Bitget as a leader in blockchain education in Europe. The company also plans to host a series of public events and hackathons in coordination with the academic partners. The events are intended to foster innovation and talent development in the blockchain sector. The partnership is expected to contribute to the local tech ecosystem in Luzern by encouraging collaboration between academia and the private sector. Bitget's global educational outreach has been supported by its Learn & Earn program, which has over 2 million active users worldwide. The program has been instrumental in onboarding new users to the crypto ecosystem through gamified learning. The expansion of Bitget's educational initiatives reflects the company’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and knowledgeable blockchain community. The partnership with ESN Luzern represents a significant step in Bitget’s mission to democratize access to Web3 knowledge and opportunities.
