About KBW 2026
Korea Buidl Week is a distributed, multi-host, builder-centric festival.
It is not a single event—it is a co-created ecosystem-level experience featuring technical conferences, retail events, hackathons, startup competitions, and cultural activations.
Korea, Crypto & Talent Stronghold
Korea combines deep crypto liquidity with a massive user base and a mature exchange infrastructure. Backed by world-class engineering culture and strong university pipelines, it has become a dense talent hub where builders consistently form teams and ship real products.

Korea Buidl Week turns Seoul into APAC’s builder gateway by concentrating flagship conferences, builder residencies, startup competitions, and showcases into one focused week.
