Elbaite first started working with the College’s Blockchain Innovation Hub in 2021 while still a startup and as they began to scale and grow, they saw an opportunity to positively influence students and to give back.
“Our collaboration with RMIT University directly reflects our mission to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology through our unique products, services, and education,” said Morty Tollo, Elbaite CEO and founder.
“We were particularly motivated to provide the EMBA project because it addresses relevant issues across various industries.
“We believe that the project's focus on AI will equip students with valuable knowledge and experience, as it is a tool that is widely used in industry but yet to be fully integrated into academic curriculum,” Morty continued.
With professionals from a range of backgrounds including accounting, robotics engineering, acting, military service, and athletics, Elbaite as an industry partner brings a diverse range of expertise to support and guide students, something Morty says is unique to the organisation.
“We have a unique blend of technical knowledge and soft skills and we're excited to share our real-world insights into the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry and provide mentorship and resources to ensure students gain a comprehensive understanding of the field,” he said.
Current EMBA student Amy Willows said she has been enjoying the challenges set by Elbaite this semester as it’s encouraged her to think more broadly about the applications of blockchain technology and AI and how it’s changing the face of business.
