UNICEF Innovation Fund to Invest in Blockchain Startups The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) recently opened its Innovation Fund to blockchain companies willing to pursue distributed ledger solutions for at-risk children around the globe. The Fund was launched last year with the intent of discovering and investing in open source solutions that can improve children’s lives. With $9 million in funding raised since its launch, the Innovation Fund is pursuing three separate areas of investment. These include infrastructure needs such as financing, utilities, and transportation, educational products, and information technology that can help decision-makers. Startups that are interested in pursuing blockchain applications in these areas are being encouraged to apply for this UNICEF funding. http://dcebrief.com/blockchain-weekly-recap-2-6-2016/ |
