Two blockchain bodies launch merger association

The Blockchain Association Singapore will provide upskilling to mid-career workers.

The Blockchain Association Singapore (BAS), a merger of two Singapore blockchain bodies, has officially launched, according to a news release.

Formed from the union of Singapore Block Association (SBA) and the Blockchain, Enterprise and Scalable Technologies (BEST) both founded in 2018, BAS is co-headed by Singapore Fintech Association president Chia Hock Lai and former BEST chairperson Tan Bin Ru.

Together with Singapore Polytechnic and NTUC, BAS will run a six-month course to upskill mid-career workers to become blockchain application junior developers. It will comprise up to 300 hours of classroom training and up to 660 hours of on-the-job training.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
