About Event

Join the Venture Accelerator at UCLA Anderson and the Cardano Foundation for an interactive masterclass exploring how blockchain and AI are being applied to real-world business challenges.

Led by Alex Nascimento, the session will take students inside enterprise Web3, decentralized AI agent infrastructure, and real-world blockchain applications across supply chain tracking, digital identity, and asset tokenization.

What you'll do

This is a hands-on session. Students will work in small teams to develop their own Web3 business architectures and deliver rapid pitches, receiving direct feedback from Alex and their peers.

You’ll also explore AI-assisted smart contract development and learn about opportunities to continue developing your venture, including potential Cardano funding and the chance to apply for one of five Cardano-sponsored fellowships within the UCLA Accelerate program at the Venture Accelerator.

Earn a Cardano Certification

Students who complete the session will receive a LinkedIn-ready Cardano certification badge, providing a tangible credential recognizing their participation in the blockchain and AI program.
