Microsoft Announces Support for the Astar Incubation Program

Microsoft, one of the largest technology companies globally and a strong market leader across various market segments with a diverse range of products, has announced it is supporting Astar Network to build and implement the Web3 future via the Astar Incubation Program.

As part of this collaboration, Microsoft and Astar Network will work together on the Astar Incubation Program. Microsoft will provide a wide range of resources, including marketing support and mentorship network to selected startups in the Astar Incubation Program to help them succeed in the global market.

Selected technology projects will have exclusive access to Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, which removes traditional barriers to building a company with free access to the technology, coaching, and support. Founders will receive guidance from mentors in every field, from technology to go-to-market strategy, and gain access to capital investment. Incubated projects will become ready to onboard potential business customers and maximize market influence with Microsoft’s support from day 1. Microsoft also provides selected startups with up to $350,000 worth of benefits through Github Enterprise, Microsoft Teams, and Azure credits (up to $150K/ 4 years).

As mentioned earlier, the Astar Incubation Program aims to nurture potential and promising entrepreneurs in emerging sectors of the Web3 space and accelerate the adoption of Astar Network. With Microsoft joining the Astar Incubation Program, the Astar ecosystem is officially supported by one of the most innovative and tech-driven companies in human history.
