Unlike traditional blockchain conferences focused on speculation, the Blockchain Impact Forum emphasizes systems-level change, positioning blockchain as digital public infrastructure for global good.
"Blockchain for Good is not just an idea; it is a systems-level shift," said Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit and Initiator of BGA. "The Blockchain Impact Forum will demonstrate how blockchain can become public infrastructure through global cooperation, building bridges between technologists, governments, and communities to achieve the SDGs."
In a similar sentiment, Robert Pasicko, AltFinLab Lead at UNDP Europe and Central Asia, added:
"The Blockchain Impact Forum provides a crucial platform for global governments and the tech sector to come together, shaping blockchain solutions that serve the public good."
Day 1, titled "Chains of Change," will be an invite-only gathering featuring panels and fireside chats with government leaders, UN officials, and blockchain pioneers. Attendees will gain insights into the SDG Blockchain Accelerator and contribute to BGA's forthcoming Impact Report on the state of blockchain for good.
Day 2 shifts to a public expo at T13 Nordhavn for the BGAwards, showcasing curated booths of SDG-aligned blockchain projects including top teams from the SDG Blockchain Accelerator, a global initiative that helps scale blockchain and AI solutions to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The day will open with the Accelerator Showcase, co-organized with Cointelegraph and the Nordic Blockchain Association, where the top 10 pilots from the Accelerator’s cohorts will present their solutions. Later in the day, the BGAwards Impact Stage will spotlight standout projects from across the ecosystem to an audience of impact investors. Networking opportunities will continue in the Partnership Lounge, with a dedicated Press Zone by Cointelegraph facilitating interviews and media coverage.
The day will culminate with the BGAwards Ceremony, honoring the best players in blockchain for good in 2025, with Bybit EU, GSR Foundation, Xion Foundation, Abu Dhabi Blockchain Center and Mantle Network as title sponsors.
