About B4SD

We connect experts, professionals, businesses, thought leaders, and stakeholders in the fields of sustainable development, blockchain, human rights, international relations, technology, and law through education, resources, incubation, acceleration, networking opportunities, and capacity building activities in communities. Membership provides access to experts with the specific goal of aiding and assisting governments, IGOs, nonprofits, civil society organizations, businesses, communities, and individuals to utilize blockchain and distributed ledger technology to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals and prevent violations of human rights.

By conducting expert research and publishing reports on topics at the intersection of SDG attainment and blockchain, we advance foundational knowledge across all sectors in a way not regularly provided by other organizations. In addition, we develop impact driven projects and startups aligned with the SDGs through comprehensive, donation subsidized, incubation and acceleration programs to empower entrepreneurs to find blockchain based solutions.

 We provide educational and capacity building opportunities for government, civil society, business, and community stakeholders, across multiple sectors and fields.
