ETHSingapore is jointly organised by the ETHGlobal team and its regional partner Neutral, a US-based Blockchain startup and backed by Sequoia Capital. The ETHGlobal series brings together developers, industry experts, advisors and companies from around the world to collaborate and build decentralised applications using Ethereum, an open software platform based on Blockchain technology.
Thebridge is a coworking space that breaks the ubiquity of an R&D and technology hub with its vision of a modern workspace. As an extension of AscendasSingbridge Group’s portfolio of sustainable urban development and business space solutions, thebridge offers hot desks, fixed desks, private suites and various shared amenities as part of its commitment to providing flexible workspace solutions to support the shared economy.
The coworking space also promotes cross-border collaboration and resource sharing through various programmes and networking sessions. It is currently home to some 20 companies. These include a number of regional Blockchain companies such as Anquan, Zilliqa, Longhash and NPower. The concept was recently launched in China, and will be looking to expand into India by early 2019.

This is our specially curated platform where people can embark on an experiential journey together, to interact and influence one another through the sharing of knowledge and ideas.

Kartik Talwar, co-founder of ETHGlobal said, “Global MNCs* have set up regional headquarters in Singapore due to the business-friendly policies here, as well as an open and welcoming culture that supports innovation and entrepreneurship.
