Crypto exchange Bitget has partnered with the Google Developer Group on Campus (GDGoC) ETH Zurich for the upcoming year. The agreement, which is part of Bitget’s Blockchain4Youth initiative, focuses on the joint organization of workshops and hackathons aimed at technical education within the blockchain sector.
Focus on Educational initiatives
