Description: An incubator, accelerator hub located in Roma Norte, Mexico City. This space will focus on creation, commerce, and education with a Near partnership. The first floor will focus on creation, connection, and commerce through a restaurant and an NFT gallery that will allow payment in NearPay or Pesos; to help create a real-world use-case of NearPay and NearProtocol NFTs. Through other partnerships with SuperWorld, MintBase, Casa Usher, Near Hispano, Nearpay, DOAist, and Near Pacific, we will be able to pull off various immersive experiences and events that will be monetized via AR and NFT tech. The restaurant will also have a robot bartender from York Exponential to help create buzz and attract customers to connect with an ambassador of tomorrow.
The second floor will be a startup incubator intended to teach about the creation of business models for web 3.0 based on DApps of NEAR Protocol. The Academy will take advantage of the NEAR Education fellowship programs as Entrepreneur-In-Residence and Developer-In-Residence to generate. Every NEAR Certified Developer becomes an essential part of the NEAR Ecosystem, in the long term is needed to document and specialize the knowledge that is being created with the NEAR Hispano community. NEAR Certified Developers can become part of the Open Web Academy to expand and document their skills in their NEAR DApp development.
