The Croatian Association for Blockchain and Cryptocurrency (UBIK) was founded in 2017 to unite a growing community interested in blockchain technologies. UBIK plays a key role in the regional Web3 ecosystem by providing advocacy, education, and networking for blockchain professionals and enthusiasts.
UBIK has focused from the start on organizing educational workshops and meetups, while also engaging in policy discussions with regulators to promote a healthy development of the ecosystem. It is the founding member and co-organizer of two major industry events: BlockSplit (a leading blockchain conference in Southeast Europe) and Money Motion (a FinTech-focused event).
UBIK actively facilitates collaboration between blockchain and financial sectors. It hosts discussions, panels, and maintains a broad network of professionals. UBIK has 400+ members (corporate and private), 7 board experts, and 3 core team members. Notably, 40% of its members are female — reflecting a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion.
