The Exchange Building that is based in the city of Memphis in Tennessee, announced that it is spearheading a workshop on blockchain technology on 15-16 May 2017, in partnership with The FedEx Institute of Technology.

The objective of the course is to introduce the revolutionary blockchain concept as well as encourage collaboration and investment. Participants of the course will gain an in-depth understanding of financial markets and instruments, a unique opportunity to explore the new technology and to learn more about the ecosystem of crypto-economy.

According to Eric Matthews, Founder, and CEO of StartCo in Memphis, the Exchange Building has been an important enabler of the blockchain technology startup ecosystem. “Over 20 startups have taken advantage of The Exchange's facilities in the past several years.”

This global blockchain concept resonates with emerging markets that are competing to attract foreign investments. By bringing the blockchain technology course to foreign markets, The Exchange can facilitate transparent and legitimate transactions that are conducted in an ethical manner that will help build stable exchange rates in countries with volatile markets.

“Memphis is a place with a long history of pioneering innovations that change the way the world does business. The Exchange Project that Gulam and Sardor Umarov are spearheading has all the signs of being another major Memphis-made innovation,” Cody Behles, manager of Innovation and Research Support for The FedEx Institute of Technology stated.

The registrations are open for the blockchain course and are priced at $500.
