About TBW

Taipei Blockchain Week brings together industry experts from all over the world in the blockchain space to educate and empower Taiwan to become a growing hub for web3 innovation.

Taiwan is regarded as the cultural entrance to East Asia. The island sits at a central geographic location and has a history of close ties to China, Japan, ASEAN, and other regions around the world. Diverse historic and cultural influences exist in Taiwan and are reflected on the streets, buildings, food, and religions - from tranquil alleys with Japanese influences that might lead to a bustling Taoist temple around the corner to exquisite French desserts that may feature a twist of Taiwanese local fruits and ingredients.

Taiwan currently ranks as one of the fastest growing economies in the world and also one of the most technologically competitive with a leading semiconductor industry. There are many developer communities in Taiwan including blockchain and web3 focused ones such as Taipei Ethereum Meetup.

Taiwan is also one of the safest places in the world with a very low crime rate. The ICCA ranks Taipei as one of the top conference destinations with many venues and accommodations accessible via public transport. Two major airports connect Taipei to hundreds of destinations around the world.
