The BGAwards officially marked the world's first major convention fully dedicated to showcasing how blockchain can drive positive global impact, a pivotal step forward for the blockchain industry.

Key Topics and Speakers

The Forum's agenda featured interactive panels, keynotes, and project showcases under three main themes:

  • Blockchain for Digital Public Goods — exploring governance, digital identity, and transparent data systems.
  • Finance for Inclusion and Impact — examining blockchain's role in democratizing access to capital and improving financial equity.

Prominent speakers included Helen Liu, Co-CEO of Bybit and Founder of the Blockchain for Good Alliance; Robert Pasicko, Team Leader at UNDP AltFinLab; Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation; David Ripley, CEO of Kraken; Kurt Nielsen, President of Partisia Blockchain; Nina Rong, Head of Ecosystem Development at the Arbitrum Foundation; Sunny Lu, CEO of VeChain; and Prof. Morten Meyerhoff Nielsen of the United Nations University (UNU-EGOV). Their insights emphasized blockchain's evolving role in creating trust-based systems, enhancing transparency, and bridging the gap between innovation and global development.

Helen highlighted the Alliance's mission: "Blockchain technology has matured beyond speculation. At the Forum, we saw how builders, governments, and institutions are using it to foster transparency, accountability, and tangible social impact."
