We're building a global center for enterprise blockchain solutions

Blockchain technology is quickly maturing — from theoretical applications to real-world solutions that can transform the way we live, work, play, learn. And even govern.

To get there, we’re bringing together partners from finance, health, education tech, and more, to support a program purposely designed to help emerging startups test and launch blockchain systems with viable use cases across key industries.

Through it, we’re creating one of the first state-sponsored, public-private collaborations that leverages blockchain technologies to move Oregon, and its companies, forward. So as they grow, they can help the world move forward, too.

Introducing the Oregon Enterprise Blockchain Venture Studio

Designed to drive blockchain-led innovation, cross-industry, OEBVS will focus on developing startup-led products, services, and tools that can help Studio partners realize the full potential of blockchain technologies — from decentralized, organizational constructs to new ways of using data to drive business.

Over the course of the program, the Studio will work with selected companies to identify strategic market opportunities, and provide them with the guidance and partnerships to spark momentum and sustain ongoing growth.

Here's how it works

Participating startups will work with a specialized R/GA team tailored to their immediate growth. Made up of award-winning strategists, technologists, designers, and consultants, they’ll collaborate with each company to develop their businesses and prepare them for future milestones.

Companies will also receive one-on-one mentorship with industry executives and direct access to R/GA and our world-class Studio partners.

Here are the details

The program will take place at R/GA’s offices in the Portland Pearl District.

Kicking off July 29, 2019, the program will last twelve weeks and conclude with a demo event in October, where startups will present their company and product pitches to Studio partners, investors, and industry leaders in technology and innovation.
