📌 EVENT RECAP 🚀 Catalyst and Funding Mechanisms: Building Startups Across Blockchain Platforms On the afternoon of May 18, 2026, BBO TECH had the opportunity to collaborate with the Digital Economics Department of Nguyen Tat Thanh University and Cardano Vietnam in a special seminar for first-year students, focusing on Blockchain, Project Catalyst, and community-driven funding models in the digital era. The session not only helped students gain a deeper understanding of Blockchain technology and the Cardano ecosystem, but also provided practical insights into how startup ideas can receive support and grow through decentralized funding models. BBO TECH was delighted to receive enthusiastic participation, interaction, and many interesting questions from the students throughout the program. We hope this seminar brought additional inspiration for learning, strengthened technology-driven thinking, and offered new perspectives on the future of AI & Blockchain in the digital economy. We would like to sincerely thank the Digital Economics Department – NTTU, Cardano Vietnam, and all participating students for joining us and contributing to such an energetic and meaningful session 💙 CC: @Cardano @Catalyst_onX @VietnamCardano @BambooLabsXYZ @c3eth @mietran0407 @Hahero7 @AsiaAfrica_AACC @IOGroupNews @AsiaCnft @DucChauB @HungWorldMoblie @VnmeseMarkbui @ThanhTung78
