Davos Disruptors: Crypto Startup Spotlight. Unveiling Crypto's Rising Stars at CRYPTO2030
From January 15-19, Davos buzzed with knowledge, innovation and the spirit of collaboration. Our CVA Startup Working Group has been smart enough to bring to the stage some of the newest blockchain and crypto innovators & projects during CRYPTO2030.
The "Davos Disruptors: Crypto Startup Spotlight," hosted by CVA and DWF Labs gave innovative startups a chance to stand out in five important categories, reflecting different aspects of the growing crypto industry.
The spotlight was led by Benedek Orban, who chairs our CVA Startup WG, with assistance from Stefano Virgilli, Business Partner at DWF, and Anna Shakola, Head of Cointelegraph Accelerator, who served as a judge. Each day, guest judges, such as Beryl Li, co-founder of Yield Guild Games; Robert M., CEO of Lukka; Rachel Cheung, Global Lead of Communications at Bitget; Igor Stadnyk, CTO of AirDAO; and Ilya Volkov, CEO of YouHodler and a CVA Board member, joined the panel to evaluate applicants in various categories, adding excitement to the process!
Now, let's zoom in on the startups that secured top honors in their categories, sparking inspiration among attendees and judges:
