The indian state ANDHRA PRADESH is planning to boost the growth of blockchain in the region by bringing up community of blockchain startups in the region.
The Andhra Pradesh Innovation Society (APIS) announced Wednesday that it was partnering with the Eleven01 Foundation to develop a blockchain talent pool and support startups building with the nascent technology.
Eleven01 is a local provider of native blockchain protocols.
