Web3 Catalyst Program

Demystify Web3 and identify business opportunities in this dynamic series of workshops with the Valtech experts.

How Web3 Will Impact Your Business

A major shift is underway in our understanding of the internet. Your brand’s place in the digital world is changing.  

While Web1 consisted mainly of static websites, filled with content and advertising banners, Web2 evolved to be more interactive with user-generated content, social media and social connectivity.  

What’s coming with Web3?  

    • Blockchain technology
    • NFTs as a currency 
    • Metaverse brand experiences

There are new approaches, technology and business models. Most importantly, there is a slew of opportunities for better communicating with your customers.  

Introducing Valtech’s Web3 Catalyst Program  

To help you orient yourself and your business, Valtech has developed a dynamic and accessible training program for you and your team 

Valtech offers a solid and flexible program that has really helped us understand Web3 and better envision the strategic opportunities for the Cirque.
