From January 10th to 13th in Barcelona, Spain, the ACE Conference was held by the Algorand Foundation. The conference was attended by all representatives of Algorand Centers of Excellence (ACE) projects, including members of the Department for e-business, as members of the ACE-W3 project. ACE-W3 is a project established in cooperation with the University of Florida, whose mission is to enable the development of innovative and experimental blockchain and Web3 apps on Algorand technologies.
