Center to learn more about Blockchain in Chicago
The Chicago Blockchain Center (CBC) was established to oversee the development of Blockchain startups and provide mentorship for entrepreneurs, students, and anyone who wants to learn about the intricacies of Blockchain. CBC will also host different kinds of events and run many research initiatives.
CBC is supported by CME Group mercantile exchange, trading firm DRW, and the State of Illinois. The non-profit organization will have Jennifer O’Rourke, Blockchain business liaison of Illinois, as its first director of public relations and engagement.
According to O’Rourke, CBC and its partners will work with the Blockchain community day in and out. This will help CBC understand all of the community’s needs and meet them properly.
The current CBC is a new version – an overhauled setup of the 2015 Chicago Bitcoin Center. Bloq investor Tally Capital, a partner in the previous Bitcoin Center, has joined the CBC expansion. Other partners included in the venture are media startup Distributed and the popular law firm, Perkins Coie.
