CRYPTO OASIS SWITZERLAND UNITED

From September 11 to 17, 2023, the city of Zug and the city of Zurich will become the epicenter of Crypto Valley, a hub of decentralized innovation. At the forefront of this new era of the Internet known as Web3, the Swiss Web3FEST will provide an opportunity for insightful conversations and cutting-edge insights through a comprehensive program of Web3-related topics. The event will not only take place in Switzerland, but also in the metaverse, where the ecosystems of Switzerland’s Crypto Valley and the Crypto Oasis in the Middle East will be at the core. This innovative six-day event is sure to capture the imaginations of pioneers, investors, innovators, and thought-provoking figures.

The objective of the 6-day festival is to demonstrate the cooperation and bridge between the two ecosystems, while connecting partners and friends from the two regions to foster stronger ties and collaboration with our counterparts. This initiative was initiated in response to the success of the Ecosystem Nights held in Dubai by Crypto Oasis, and seeks to replicate the high-end and exclusive atmosphere of the event, while also providing a unique experience for the estimated 1000 attendees over the course of the six-day assembly. The festival will feature a variety of musical acts, lifestyle activities, and highly-curated roundtables.

The Swiss Web3FEST, co-hosted by The Internet Computer and Dfinity, is a two-day event that will showcase the latest developments in Web3 technology and networking. It will be hosted in a Metaverse designed by Pulse World, the conference’s Metaverse partner, and will feature the presence of over 150 renowned speakers, 50 exhibitors, and 80+ engaging topics and side activities.

The Global Web3 ecosystem is coming together for “Switzerland United” – an 11-day event that will take place from September 7th to 17th 2023. It’s a joint effort between NFT Fest Lugan, NFT Lakesside Unconference and SwissWEB3FEST.

Ralf Glabischnig, initiator of WEB3FEST, Founder, Inacta Ventures & Crypto Oasis, commented: “Our vision for this festival is to combine the exceptional potential of both Crypto Valley and Crypto Oasis. Switzerland is an outstanding location for founders looking to provide a regulatory home for their blockchain and Web3 startups. The Middle East offers a brilliant platform for these startups to scale internationally. With the launch of WEB3FEST, we aim to establish an annual Web3 event series worldwide.”
