Last week, Base 11 had the opportunity to join leaders across the fintech, blockchain, AI, and innovation ecosystem at the Operation HOPE Global Forum in Atlanta, with deep thanks to our partners at Coinbase for inviting us into an important conversation about the future of inclusive innovation.

Throughout the week, we connected with visionary leaders working at the intersection of technology, economic opportunity, and community impact, including partners from Coinbase, Crypto.com, Stand With Crypto, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the National Cryptocurrency Association, the Atlanta Blockchain Center, and others.

These cross-sector relationships strengthen Base 11’s work to empower high-potential, low-resource students and early-career adults with the skills and pathways needed to thrive in Next Frontier industries. We look forward to building on the energy of last week’s convening as we continue expanding opportunity through workforce development, AI and tech upskilling, innovation challenges, and industry-aligned partnerships.

Thank you again to Coinbase for the invitation and collaboration. The future of equitable access to technology is bright, and we are honored to help build it.
