Revolutionizing Sustainability Through Blockchain
Developed in partnership with Dr. Teck Ming (Terence) Tan, Associate Professor of Marketing at Oulu Business School and Adjunct Professor at the University of Helsinki, this free, self-paced course addresses the rising demand for sustainability-focused blockchain education. It consists of 12 modules covering key topics such as supply chain transparency, renewable energy adoption, and eco-friendly business strategies. Quizzes at the end of each week help reinforce learning, and participants who complete the course will receive a co-branded certificate from Binance Academy and the University of Oulu.
“We designed this course to clarify what blockchain can truly achieve in sustainability,”said Professor Tan. “By focusing on five key areas – supply chain management, circular economy, renewable energy, ESG (environmental, social, and governance) reporting, and incentivization – we hope to showcase how blockchain technology can drive real impact.”
He emphasized that blockchain’s decentralized nature opens new possibilities for sustainable business practices. “It has been an inspiring journey to partner with Binance Academy and share insights on blockchain’s role in shaping a greener future,” he added.
Bringing Transformative Ideas to Life
Bringing this vision to life, Binance Academy worked closely with Professor Tan to develop the course, offering its expertise in educational design and blockchain resources. Through this collaboration, the course integrates academic research with real-world applications, making complex blockchain concepts accessible to learners of all backgrounds.
Stephen McAllister, Binance Academy Team Lead, highlighted the significance of education in driving blockchain adoption. “Education is key to helping individuals navigate the evolving digital economy,” he said.
McAllister emphasized that the partnership with the University of Oulu makes blockchain education more accessible and applicable to real-world challenges. “This free course will give learners the knowledge to see how blockchain can drive sustainability, helping industries become more transparent, efficient, and environmentally responsible,” he noted.
A Vision in Motion
This partnership aligns with Binance Academy’s vision of making blockchain education accessible, practical, and impactful for learners worldwide. It builds on past collaborations with leading European universities, such as the Prague University of Economics and Business, the European Business University of Luxembourg, and the European School of Management (ESCP), to offer accredited Web3 courses.
Additionally, Binance Academy’s Learn and Earn and Student Ambassador Program further enhance the learning experience, offering lifelong learners hands-on opportunities to learn and actively engage with the blockchain community. By expanding educational initiatives like these, Binance Academy bridges the gap between blockchain technology and real-world applications, empowering the next generation to drive innovation in a more transparent and sustainable digital economy.
