What is the Initiative about?

The initiative aims to provide financial means for innovative individuals,
teams and companies to deliver transformative solutions addressing the crisis.
It also empowers governments and institutions to directly support,
access and benefit from these ground-breaking solutions.

Today more than ever, governments and industries are challenged by the impact of the current crisis and
need to be prepared for any future occurrences. It is both a necessity and a unique opportunity to utilize
technology and decentralization to build resilient infrastructures and mechanisms for our economy.

Lykke is committed to democratizing finance by building the tools and services for a sustainable economic and
financial system. Lykke supports industries in their transformation by empowering them to leverage the
full potential of blockchain and new technologies.
