[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will hold the ‘BWB (Blockchain Week in Busan) 2022’ event at BEXCO for three days from October 27 to 29, following last year’s ‘NFT Busan 2021’.

Last year’s ‘NFT BUSAN 2021’ was successfully held with over 10,000 onsite attendees, providing information exchange among domestic and international blockchain industry stakeholders and presenting the latest trends related to NFTs.

This year, the event name has been changed to ‘BWB (Blockchain Week in Busan) 2022’ to emphasize Busan’s leading role as a global blockchain city beyond NFTs and to revitalize the K-blockchain industry ecosystem.

‘BWB (Blockchain Week in Busan) 2022’ is hosted by Busan City, with participation from the three major global digital asset exchanges: Binance, FTX, and Huobi.

To establish the Busan digital asset exchange and develop the blockchain industry, the city signed memorandums of understanding sequentially with Binance, the world’s largest exchange, starting in August, followed by FTX and Huobi.

Binance, FTX, and Huobi will participate as main sponsors of this event and actively cooperate for the event’s success by utilizing their global networks to invite overseas speakers, operate exhibition booths, and manage event programs.

Since the city is promoting the establishment of the Busan digital asset exchange as a core project this year, it plans to do its best to build cooperative governance with major global blockchain cities.

To this end, a Global Blockchain City Roundtable and a Global Exchange CEO Roundtable will be held.

The main programs of this event include blockchain-themed conferences, blockchain company exhibitions and meetups, special exhibitions by artists, auctions and experience centers, and company-specific side events, aiming to attract many industry experts and stakeholders to Busan and raise public awareness of the blockchain industry.

The event website is currently open and operating, and pre-registered participants can attend the event free of charge for all three days. Detailed information can be found on the website and through the BWB 2022 Secretariat.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “Based on the success of last year’s NFT BUSAN 2021, we are holding BWB 2022 with global partners such as Binance, FTX, and Huobi, the world’s largest blockchain companies. We will take the lead in building and revitalizing a healthy blockchain industry ecosystem in Korea by joining hands with global blockchain cities and companies as well as domestic ones.”
