RWA Demo Day Opens Global Applications For Early-Stage Startups With Final Showcase At Hong Kong Web3 Festival
The application timeline spans from March 6 to March 31, 2026, for global submissions, followed by expert review and finalist selection from April 1 to April 2. The final pitch event will take place online on April 8, with official winners announced and showcased on-site during the Hong Kong Web3 Festival on April 21.

As the on-chain transformation of real-world assets continues to accelerate, shaping a more open and programmable global asset network, RWA Demo Day invites visionary developers and startups to lead this evolution. Applications are now officially open for participation.
