Lisk, a Layer 2 blockchain dedicated to bringing Web3
adoption in emerging markets back to Ethereum, is excited to
announce its new partnership with Gerakan Nasional 1000
Startup Digital, an initiative by the Indonesian government’s

Communications & Informatics Technology (DGIA MCIT). This
collaboration introduces Ignit3, Indonesia’s first
government-supported Web3 program, aimed at nurturing local
innovation and accelerating the Web3 startup ecosystem by providing
the necessary resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities
to aspiring entrepreneurs.
Ignit3 was publicly unveiled during a special side

Indonesia, leveraging government backing to provide crucial
resources and mentorship. The collaboration will foster a thriving
Web3 ecosystem by combining Lisk’s expertise with the strategic
guidance of Gerakan Nasional 1000 Startup Digital, enhancing local
innovation and driving the future of blockchain technology in the
region.
“Our new partnership with Gerakan Nasional 1000 Startup
Digital and the launch of Ignit3 highlights our commitment to
advancing Web3 innovation in emerging markets,” said Dominic
Schwenter, COO of Lisk. “By leveraging government support and
focusing on local startups, we aim to empower developers, enhance
financial inclusion, and build a robust Web3 community in Southeast
Asia.”
Lisk continues its mission to bridge the knowledge gap in
blockchain technology and support emerging markets through
strategic collaborations and participation in pivotal events. In
