The official commercial arm and a founding member of the Cardano blockchain, EMURGO, and its regional entity, EMURGO Middle East & Africa, announced a strategic investment and partnership with Goodwall, a skills-based social network for young talent to connect to learning and earning opportunities. Goodwall is exploring how blockchain can support its mission to level the playing field for youth everywhere.

Today, Geneva-based Goodwall serves and supports 2m+ talent in 150+ countries on their learning and earning journeys.

EMURGO and EMURGO MEA's investment will support Goodwall's sustainable growth into a Web3 service. "Web3 presents a unique opportunity. From facilitating cross-border micropayments and powering a skills-based global economy to certifying the progress of a learner's journey in a distributed public and verifiable ledger, we're exploring how blockchain can help make the future of work, work for everyone. We are excited to have found a strategic partner in EMURGO to guide us in seizing this opportunity to level the playing field and bank the unbanked," said Goodwall co-founder and COO, Omar Bawa.
