On November 9, the delegation gave their presentation as sole Gold Sponsors and lead speakers before a prominent audience of high-profile investors and blockchain industry professionals at the 2017 Asia Blockchain Application Congress. The premium position has ensured that the HOQU delegation was presented on par with industry giant IBM, whose managing director held seat next to Mike Zarubin. A vast majority of attendees was composed of Chinese nationals willing to invest in the growing blockchain projects market. HOQU’s unveiling proved a spectacular highlight as investors rallied and demanded a more detailed presentation of the project and its prospects for the Asian market and HQX Token value gain projections. The delegation was overwhelmed with questions and propositions from delegates and reached a number of significant preliminary agreements with key industry players.

Among the highlights of the HOQU delegation’s visit were 30 individual negotiations with industry representatives, of which those posing the greatest interest to the project were identified and slated into meetings the following days. The Chinese funds present had long been waiting for interesting projects in the marketing industry to consider for investment and many have approached the HOQU delegation to discuss cooperation options, asking about prospects five years into the future. Representatives of IBM were also among the delegates, presenting their division Blockchain Labs and held interesting discussions with the HOQU delegation. In addition, negotiations were held with major Chinese goods suppliers, who expressed genuine interest in the project as many were ready to switch to crypto-payments in order to be able to use the advantages of the HOQU platform and pay for effective and efficient marketing.

Recently, the Bank of China has begun recruiting blockchain experts. The main aim of the Congress in 2017 is the clarification of the current status of blockchain supervision, thus resulting in intensely heightened interest for the platform.
