Victoria, Seychelles, January 16, 2024 – Bitget, a leading crypto exchange and Web3 company, today unveiled its Blockchain4Her initiative to promote gender diversity and inclusiveness in the blockchain industry. The announcement was made during the Web3 Hub Davos event organized by CV Labs, as part of the World Economic Forum 2024, where Bitget presented its commitment to encouraging female entrepreneurship and recognizing the achievements of women around the world blockchain and Web3.
Despite the progress made by the sector and its increasing openness, significant gender biases persist. A recent study conducted by Bitget revealed limited gender diversity in the blockchain financing market, indicating that female-led blockchain startups have secured only 6% of total funding. In a forward-looking, blockchain-based global economy, the prevalence of gender bias severely limiting opportunities is an unacceptable problem. Initiatives such as Blockchain4Her aim to address this disparity. By highlighting the challenges faced by women-led startups, Bitget aims to raise awareness and encourage collective efforts towards creating a more inclusive financial landscape.
Blockchain4Her Key Initiatives
Incubation programs and pitch competitions for female entrepreneurs
- As part of the Blockchain4Her initiative, Bitget will launch incubation programs specifically tailored to female entrepreneurs. These programs will provide comprehensive support, mentorship as well as valuable resources, enabling women to navigate and succeed in the blockchain industry. Additionally, Blockchain4Her will host pitch competitions for female-founded startups, providing them with a platform to showcase their innovations and secure potential investments.
Women in Blockchain Summit and Awards
- Blockchain4Her will feature an exclusive experience titled Women in Blockchain Summit and Honors, which will serve as a platform to celebrate and recognize the outstanding achievements of women in the blockchain space. The summit aims to create networking opportunities for female professionals, encouraging collaboration and community building. Through insightful discussions and empowering events, Bitget strives to inspire more women to actively participate and grow their careers in the blockchain industry.
Ambassador Program
- Bitget will also invite industry leaders to become ambassadors for the Blockchain4Her program, which supports gender diversity in the blockchain world. Ambassadors will advocate and lead positive change to foster an inclusive environment.
Bitget’s Blockchain4Her initiative builds on the success of the initiative Blockchain4Youth and the Bitget Builders program. Blockchain4Youth, with an investment commitment of $10 million over the next five years, has played a crucial role in inspiring the younger generation to adopt blockchain technology. Bitget’s efforts to provide equitable opportunities and promote financial inclusion are at the heart of these initiatives.

Through incubation programs, pitch competitions and empowering events, we aim to empower women to take on leadership roles in the world of Web3 and blockchain. This initiative aligns with our overall vision of creating a more equitable and inclusive future through the power of blockchain. »
