Through its collaboration with Corelia Academy, MEXC Ventures contributes to connecting knowledge about digital assets with practical activities, product development, and entrepreneurial thinking within the student community.
From foundational knowledge to practical experience.
The development of blockchain and digital assets is opening up many new avenues for technology, business, and innovation. However, for the younger generation to actively participate in this field, access to foundational knowledge must be accompanied by the ability to analyze the market, identify problems, and develop practical solutions.
This is one of the key focuses of the UniHackfest 2026 program, implemented by Corelia Academy in collaboration with a network of universities and colleges such as: Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance, Faculty of Information Technology – Van Lang University, Institute of Engineering – Hutech University, BK Fintech Club – Hanoi University of Science and Technology, School of Technology and Design – Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics…, with the support of MEXC Ventures as a strategic education partner.
Instead of being a single technology competition, the program is designed as a multi-stage journey, from knowledge introduction, training and mentoring to project implementation, results evaluation, and product presentation to a panel of experts. Through this, students have the opportunity to approach the field of digital assets from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining technology with business, marketing, and user needs research.

Within the framework of this collaboration, MEXC Ventures supports digital asset education , shares market insights, and assists in developing practical activities. This approach also reflects MEXC Ventures’ commitment to contributing to human resource development and expanding connections between the student community and the blockchain and Web3 ecosystems.
Over 1,500 live interactions, 20 schools participated.
According to the UniHackfest 2026 summary report, as of the Final Demo Day on October 10, 2026, the program had recorded 15 UniTour events, the participation of 20 universities and colleges, and more than 1,500 direct interactions with students.
In addition to on-campus activities, the program received over 500 applications, with more than 25 mentors, speakers, and judges participating; 78 mentoring sessions and 34 eligible projects were recorded in the report. The competing teams went through a process of idea development, project refinement, and presentation to the panel, creating a hands-on environment connected to market issues.
In terms of media coverage, UniHackfest garnered over 160,000 views and impressions on social media, along with more than 7,700 interactions. These figures reflect the program’s ability to connect with the student community and create more space for topics related to blockchain, digital assets, and innovation to be discussed within the university environment.
For MEXC Ventures, the value of the program lies not only in its accessibility but also in enabling students to translate knowledge into experience: understanding the market, identifying user needs, building solutions, and honing their ability to present ideas.
Connecting education, innovation, and the blockchain ecosystem.
A notable aspect of UniHackfest 2026 is the participation of numerous professional groups and partners within the ecosystem. Students have the opportunity to interact with mentors, technology experts, and professionals working in the blockchain field, thereby broadening their perspectives on career development paths and product building opportunities.
Representatives from MEXC Ventures also participated in the program as mentors, along with experts from various organizations within the ecosystem. This connection contributed to bringing a practical perspective into the learning process, helping students better understand the relationship between technological knowledge, market needs, and the applicability of an idea.
The combination of education, mentoring, and project development competitions also demonstrates the potential of the business-school collaboration model. When students are exposed to real-world problems early on, the university environment can become a breeding ground for not only specialized knowledge but also product thinking, collaboration skills, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Continuing the journey of developing young human resources.
The Final Demo Day on October 10th marked a milestone for UniHackfest 2026, but it doesn’t necessarily signify the end of the learning and project development journey. According to the summary report, the program is expected to continue with the Solana Developer Vietnam Bootcamp in November 2026 and the next UniHackfest season in December 2026; the remaining courses are also planned for implementation in 2026.

For MEXC Ventures, partnering with Corelia Academy is part of its strategy to connect the digital asset ecosystem with education and young talent. Besides supporting innovative initiatives, programs like UniHackfest create opportunities for students to understand a growing field, test ideas, and gradually define their role within the ecosystem.
In the long term, the development of blockchain and Web3 depends not only on technology or capital, but also on a workforce with knowledge, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. Investing in education and creating a practical learning environment from an early age is therefore significant for both learners and the sustainable development of the ecosystem.
