Research is the foundation of knowledge. It is the driver of innovation and critical to the social, cultural and economic fabric of our society. Research is the tool that supports evidence-based decisions—decisions that inform policy, impact organizations, and influence the lives of citizens locally and globally. Research also has the power to bring diverse groups of people together behind a common, focused goal. It develops our understanding—socially, culturally and physically—of the world in which we live. It teaches us how to teach and guides how we learn on our own and with others. It empowers individuals and groups, and advances our understanding of cultures and social relations. At the Blockchain Incubator, it is our goal and responsibility to use our evidence-based knowledge to support understanding, enable positive change, and, ultimately, advance the health and well-being of society.

The Block was created to accelerate the leaning of Blockchain Technologies and Artificial Intelligence for recent tech graduates seeking opportunities to integrate research more purposefully into their academic achievement and to ensure that we continue to make a difference—in the competitiveness of recent graduates, and in the impact they could have on the world around us. At The Block we are devoted to the cultivation of human potential. We are committed to taking a collaborative approach to improving people’s lives, contributing to global knowledge through that integrates Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence technologies. One of the ways we fulfil this commitment is by pioneering research in fields ranging from health care to business, arts and culture to advanced manufacturing.
