MARRAKECH, MOROCCO – 10/04/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The historic city of Marrakech, Morocco, long known for its rich culture and heritage, is set to become a modern hub of technological transformation and innovation as it welcomes the global edition of WEB3FEST during GITEX Africa 2025. Taking place from April 14 to 16, this pivotal event will convene an elite network of visionaries, founders, investors, and policy shapers at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, and sustainable development. More than just a conference, the Morocco WEB3FEST GITEX Edition aims to redefine the dialogue on Web3 by offering a collaborative platform that transcends borders and sectors.
Conceived and organized by Inacta Ventures and co-hosted by The Hashgraph Association, this three-day summit is strategically positioned at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe—geographically and thematically. Set against the backdrop of GITEX Africa, one of the continent’s most influential technology trade shows, the event symbolizes a new era of intercontinental cooperation and knowledge exchange in the decentralized tech landscape.
A Vision Beyond Technology
Far from being a traditional tech showcase, WEB3FEST is designed to tackle real-world challenges by leveraging decentralized technologies, responsible innovation, and cross-industry partnerships. With sustainability as a core tenet, the event serves as an incubator for ideas that drive not only financial innovation but also environmental stewardship and social equity.
At the heart of this initiative lies the mission to empower emerging economies with frontier technologies. “Switzerland has always been a hub for blockchain innovation,” remarked Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of Inacta Ventures. “With Morocco as the perfect entry point to the African continent, we’re creating a powerful synergy between European blockchain expertise and Africa’s rapidly growing appetite for technological advancement.”
Empowering Web3 Ecosystems and Entrepreneurs
The WEB3FEST conference series has steadily evolved into a beacon for innovation across the AI, blockchain, and sustainability verticals. It draws participants ranging from agile startups and academic researchers to multinational corporations and government entities—all eager to explore the latest applications of decentralized systems and digital intelligence.
“The Hashgraph Association is proud to co-host this transformative event,” said Kamal Youssefi, President of the Board. “We remain committed to enabling entrepreneurs, enterprises, and government bodies to navigate the Web3 frontier in a manner that is both scalable and sustainable. The Hedera network, one of the most energy-efficient distributed ledger technologies in existence, will be central to these discussions.”
Event Highlights: Inspiring Dialogue and Deep Engagement
One of the event’s major highlights will be The Green Block Talks on April 14th, a high-level gathering at the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial. The evening will feature a compelling lineup of speakers who will examine how AI and Web3 technologies are reshaping industries while addressing climate imperatives. Panelists include:
- Ian Putter – Head of Blockchain COE, Standard Bank
- Tom Rieder – Director Marketplace, The Green Block
- Abdelaziz Benyahya – Chief Transformation Officer, AXA Morocco
- Kamal Youssefi – President of The Board, The Hashgraph Association

On April 15th, the WEB3 Investor Dinner—an exclusive, invitation-only affair co-hosted by NEO AI—will provide a discreet setting for high-caliber discussions between venture capitalists, fund managers, and Web3 entrepreneurs. Attendees will explore investment strategies and delve into the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem.
Catalyzing the Next Chapter in the Web3 Narrative
Both Inacta Ventures and The Hashgraph Association are playing foundational roles in nurturing the global Web3 landscape. With its presence in Switzerland’s Crypto Valley and the UAE’s Crypto Oasis, Inacta Ventures supports over 100 ventures across verticals.
