The FinTech Center is the hub of the HBCU Blockchain and FinTech Network that actively engages faculty and students at over 50 HBCUs for research, curriculum, and education in Blockchain and FinTech.
Developments in disruptive technologies such as Blockchain move fast. Universities need to stay engaged by conducting breakthrough research to advance knowledge in this new technology and by updating their curricula to prepare students for the rapid market changes.
The Center was established to provide an environment that promotes learning and in-depth understanding of blockchain technology and its impact on finance, business, industry, and government.
The Center offers programs, workshops, conferences, and seminars which bring together academic researchers, practitioners, corporate leaders, and policymakers.
