SSC has acquired the University of Connecticut’s (Uconn) former campus to establish Chain Valley, a centre for research, training and business development.

“It is here that the first students to ever leave China, the Mission Boys, settled in the late 1800s to study Western science and engineering. It is in the spirit of these students that we will build a facility so modern and dynamic that it will attract the best talent and companies, making this site the blockchain capital of the US and the world,” says SSC Chairman and CEO Bruno Wu.

SSC, which focuses on digital asset production and distribution, is now aiming to become a next generation Artificial Intelligence and blockchain-powered FinTech service company. “SSC’s commitment to our state shows that our strategy for recruiting and retaining cutting-edge employers is working,” says the state Governor Dennel P. Malloy.
