The Agency is pioneering a new global framework for economic and technological development. At the heart of this framework are the Innovation Centers of Excellence (ICEs)—dedicated financial and innovation hubs established within member territories.
For countries, hosting an ICE represents a unique opportunity to secure long-term economic, technological, and social advantages while positioning themselves at the forefront of the global digital economy.
What Is an ICE?
An ICE is more than a research or development park. It is a financially self-sustaining innovation hub, powered by blockchain technologies, designed to:
Foster local innovation and entrepreneurship.
Attract domestic and foreign investment.
Create new jobs in high-value sectors.
Support youth and education through applied innovation programs.
Integrate members into a global blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
Operating as Economic Free Zones, each ICE serves as a gateway for capital, talent, and technology, ensuring that the host country becomes a central node in the Agency’s international ecosystem.
Why Hosting an ICE Is Important
1. Catalyst for Economic Growth
An ICE drives direct investment into national economies. It hosts projects funded by the Agency and its partners, channeling private capital and international financing into local industries. By nurturing innovation-led enterprises, ICE's accelerate GDP growth, diversify economies, and build resilience against external shocks.
2. Enhancing Sovereignty Through Finance & Technology
Hosting an ICE provides access to the Agency’s technology and infrastructure. This allows countries to:
Issue and manage digital national assets.
Create asset-backed tokens tied to resources, carbon credits, or securities.
Reduce dependence on centralized financial systems.
Host NektarX, the official listing and trading venue of the Agency.
List digital national assets and asset-backed tokens on NektarX.
By hosting an ICE and NektarX, members are empowered to exercise greater control over their economic future.
3. A Magnet for Talent and Investment
Hosting an ICE and NektarX will attract entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors seeking opportunities in blockchain, fintech, green finance, and emerging technologies. This inflow of expertise will not only generate jobs but also strengthens national innovation ecosystems, creating spillover benefits for education, science, and other industries.
4. Youth Empowerment and Social Impact
Agency centers of excellence and projects hosted at the ICE channel revenues into youth development and education. These programs are designed in partnership with the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Education of the host country. By linking innovation with training programs and scholarships, host countries ensure that their young people are equipped with the skills to thrive in the digital economy. The benefits extend beyond economics—these centers of excellence help shape the next generation of innovators, athletes, and leaders.
5. Global Visibility and Prestige
Hosting an ICE places a country on the map as a pioneer in the blockchain-driven global economy. It signals to investors, institutions, and the international community that the host country is committed to future-ready governance, innovation, and financial sovereignty.
6. Strategic Timing
The Agency is rolling out its first generation of ICE's merged with the sports Academies of the World Sports Alliance within the territories of original members as part of its 2025–2030 strategy. Countries that position themselves early will gain the advantages of first-mover status, shaping the standards, practices, and opportunities of this new financial ecosystem.
7. A National Imperative
For Ministers, the decision to host an ICE is not simply about joining a new international organization—it is about securing a national legacy and unlock:
Investment and growth without public debt.
Sovereignty in the digital era.
Opportunities for youth and future generations.
Prestige and influence in global innovation governance.
By hosting an ICE, a country demonstrates vision, leadership, and commitment to building an economy that is resilient, inclusive, and future-focused.
It is a chance to transform national potential into global influence—at no cost, but with immeasurable returns.
