The University of Gibraltar has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Huobi University, China-based blockchain technology and application education institution affiliated to the Huobi Group, to explore the development of blockchain education and research initiatives.
The MOU was signed in Beijing this week by Gibraltar’s Minister for Commerce Albert Isola MP and President of Huobi University Jianing Yu.
Under the agreement, the institutions will promote cooperation in education, academic research, the development and collaboration of academic programmes, and the creation and delivery of short courses in key areas including blockchain, cryptotechnology, and fintech.
Dr. Yu Jianing said that Huobi University has been giving the courses in China, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, and has already trained more than 1,000 blockchain industry elites.
“Strategic cooperation with the University of Gibraltar is an important step towards the internationalization of the Huobi University, and both parties will launch a series of English-oriented courses for entrepreneurs and investors around the world in the future,” he said.
Commenting on the cooperation between the two educational institutions, Minister Isola pointed out that Huobi was awarded a full DLT license from the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) in November 2018.
“We are very excited at the prospect of future collaborations between Huobi University and the University of Gibraltar, particularly as a means of accelerating the establishment of high quality blockchain-focused educational initiatives. Both parties share an ambition to promote high level academic research around the burgeoning DLT landscape, and I look forward to seeing this vision take shape,” Isola said.
The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission’s (GFSC) regulatory framework on DLT went into effect on January 01, 2018, making Gibraltar the first jurisdiction to introduce regulations around this innovative technology. A number of crypto and blockchain companies have received the DLT license including CEX.IO, Coinfloor, COVESTING, eToroX, Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange (GBX), Lendingblock and LMAX Digital, among others.
