Keynote has announced a $6 million fund to support diversity and inclusion within the blockchain industry.
“The fund exists to ensure everyone has the opportunity to play an active role in the development and evolution of blockchain and opportunities to work and develop in blockchain are open to all regardless of age, disability, gender identity or gender expression, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or any other equality characteristic,” the company has said.
The fund is also aimed at creating better opportunities for those blockchain and crypto experts facing obstacles and who might not otherwise have the opportunity to further their careers and knowledge within the industry.
Keynote says it’s “particularly encouraging applications to speak, volunteer and attend the World Blockchain Forum London from young people, women and people and people with disabilities as these groups are currently under-represented in the blockchain industry”.
“Applications to speak, volunteer or attend will be accepted on a rolling basis and will close on Friday 17th August 2018,” it adds.
This year, the event will feature more than 100 presenters and influencers who have been involved in some of the largest ICOs.
