Introduction
Background

The rapid advancements in technology are transforming industries, creating a need for
constant up-skilling and re-skilling to remain competitive. FutureStart Token aims to ad-
dress this by providing access to certification programs that cover the most relevant tech-
nologies delivered by practitioners from across various domains. These programs will fo-
cus on equipping individuals with the skills needed to thrive in today’s professional envi-
ronment and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Vision
To create a sustainable, token-driven ecosystem that empowers individuals with the
knowledge, skills, and certification necessary to excel in the workforce or as en-
trepreneurs.

Mission
FutureStart aims to be the leading platform for skill development through a decentralised
token economy, where students, professionals, and entrepreneurs can access and com-
plete certification programs, earning recognition and credibility in their chosen fields. As a
platform, FutureStart will enable employers a view to the technology and skills competen-
cies of the Students, which could eventually lead to be a funnel of skilled talent. Enter-
prises will find a pool of Innovators for its new divisions and also resources to stay relevant
in the fast changing economy. Early stage investors will also find this platform as a gate-
way to entrepreneurs with problem solving skills.

Problem Statement
Skill Gap in the Job Market
As industries evolve, the demand for new skills continues to outpace traditional education
and training methods, leading to a skills gap.
Limited Access to Certification Programs

Many professionals and students lack access to affordable, high-quality training in emerg-
ing technologies due to high costs or geographic restrictions. Or access to experienced
practitioners.
