But with further scope and successful case-studies new asset classes are coming onto Web3 to turn those largely fragmented and centralised industries into more community-centric platforms. One such protocol emerging out is ShipFinex.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To encounter the conventional systems and central-authority dependent financial solutions in the Shipping Finance, ShipFinex is emerging out to revolutionise the trillion-dollar Maritime economy. Started with their launch in July, 2022, they have been able to steer the way to attract sizable traction and are on an eventful spree.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beginning by participating in community events from India Blockchain Week, Fintech Festival to making their presence at the world stage in Token 2049, Singapore; Fintech Blockchain Summit, Dubai and lastly leaving a big mark at the World Blockchain Summit, Dubai at the Startup World Cup organized by Pegasus Tech Ventures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Startup World Cup is a world-renowned competition inviting regional winners from over 70+ countries to compete for a prestigious title of \u201cBest Startup\u201d. The regional chapter for the year 2023 finale started with a bang, showcasing 16 enterprising Startups from the field of Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Food Tech, Development Infrastructure Metaverse and Real-World Asset Tokenisation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The jury for the Startup World Cup Pitch competition featured an esteemed panel with the likes of Vinnet Budki (Managing Partner & CEO, Cypher Capital), Alexander Fazel (Chief Partnership Officer at SwissBorg), Ajeet Khurana (Founder Reflexical, Ex CEO-Zebpay) bringing together over 100+ experience of running successful tech enterprises and venture capital firms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over 16 projects shared the stage with ShipFinex and while all of them had an amazing concept, ShipFinex stood out with its vision of decentralising the Maritime economy and alternative asset investment space and introducing Maritime Assets on-chain. Key components of this positioning were the vision to enable decentralisation in the Maritime sector and the infrastructure layer of real-world asset tokenisation ShipFinex is creating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ShipFinex is creating a convergence between 2 trillion-dollar markets, converging the two industries into a single solution through a multi-layer infrastructure setup, bringing tokenisation of assets in the maritime industry to address the liquidity flow in the maritime economy, making shipping assets accessible for everyone through Web3-based tools.<\/p>\n
