More About this Shift
Probing into this further, CNF discovered that this massive shift underscores the company鈥檚 longstanding vision of curving a sustainable future and addressing an important challenge within the blockchain ecosystem. According to a report, its initiatives are also driven by the high demand for professionals with blockchain expertise to implement and further develop complex blockchain solutions.
By providing a series of training programs and materials to prepare the workforce in Europe, Chaise has been able to increase the number of blockchain experts and connect important players across the region with the support of IOTA. To effectively push this agenda, EBSCN is also reported to have brought together a lot of partners ranging from 鈥渁uthorities and educational institutions to technology companies and innovative start-ups.锟?The idea is to collectively design practical training programs and establish cooperation beyond the existing structure.
For now, the team would channel similar concentration to other technological-related disciplines like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity.
CHAISE is dedicated to staying on the cutting edge of the Blockchain industry, its future needs, and challenges. We work closely with industry experts and various institutions to ensure that we can contribute to closing the digital skills gap and provide adequate education opportunities. We also offer ongoing support to our partners to ensure that they have access to the latest information and resources to help them stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly evolving field.
IOTA鈥檚 Past Involvement with Chaise
IOTA and Chaise’s relationship goes as far back as 2021 when we announced a collaboration between the two alongside some tech giants, including INATBA, Fujitsu, and the European Digital SME Alliance, to provide blockchain education to individuals.
The collaboration was also part of the plans to enable the Consortium to create a certified training program for DLTs and develop a 5-semester 鈥淰ET program in 11 EU languages.锟?Meanwhile, this included non-technical soft skills including customer-oriented and entrepreneurial mindset, problem-solving, and teamwork. At that time, the Consortium of the project was led by the Universit茅 Claude Bernard Lyon and institutions with backgrounds in DLTs and blockchain in the European region.
Commenting on this, the then Director of Partnerships at the IOTA Foundation, Holger K枚ther, expressed his excitement and how this initiative aligns with the firm’s core objectives.
We are delighted to join leading organizations from both the field of vocational education and DLT industry leaders to jointly strengthen the leading role of the European Union in realizing the potential of distributed technologies.
At press time, IOTA (MIOTA) was trading at $0.111 after declining by 3% in the last 24 hours.
