CAMPAIGN SUMMARY

RZLT drafted a go-to-market strategy for the launch of a NEAR Balkans Cluster covering Southeast Europe. The goal was to set up a thriving ecosystem for entrepreneurs providing them with a  solid educational infrastructure to encourage them to build their products on NEAR. 

With this goal in mind, we defined a set of activities, including commercial showcase products (Product lab), incubator, grants, meetups, conferences  & educational certification in local languages.


KEY MARKET

Croatia   Serbia  Slovenia   Montenegro

Creative Approach

Launching the NEAR Balkans Regional Hub – to act as the key incubation hub for all regional blockchain communities.

Local early-stage incubators and accelerators in the target geography – to develop a relationship and establish NEAR Regional Hub as the primary contact for blockchain-related activities.

Establishing a relationship local universities and becoming a relevant source of information for all things blockchain. Create a blockchain curriculum powered by NEAR and initiate educational programs, hackathons, ambassadorship, and case studies to build a “NEAR-grown” generation of developers.  

 

Local and regional tech media (Trending Topics, Netokracija, Tech.Eu, SEE news, Bitfalls, etc) and start a content marketing campaign. Writing and spreading educational content around NEAR, blockchain technology, DeFi, and other relevant topics.

Netokracija | Recursive | & Others

Local and regional events:  RZLT partnered with local ecosystem entities (KOLs, Hubs, Conferences, Communities..), providing RZLT and NEAR Balkans speakers for blockchain-related events in the region. In addition, we launched recurring regional meetups – NEARby – local blockchain and tech enthusiast meetups led by the RZLT team for NEAR Balkans, during which educators, builders, and web3 enthusiasts would exchange, learn and discuss all NEAR-relevant topics.
