EDGE196 has been in the forefront of startup competitions and hackathons since its inception. In 2017, at the Global Startup Competition, EDGE196 selected 21 startups as pitch finalists among 3000 applicants.
Asia Blockchain and Fintech Startup Competition opened its virtual doors on October 19 2020, allowing the next generation of entrepreneurs to submit their investor deck online.
