B Lab Opens New Office in Hong Kong

"B Lab Hong Kong" Launched to Create New Musical Experiences Through Technology!

We are establishing a new B Lab Hong Kong office based at Chord Hero in Hong Kong.

At B Lab Hong Kong, we are creating an environment where anyone, regardless of age, can easily play musical instruments, while also exploring new ways to express and enjoy music through the use of technology.We go beyond simply playing instruments to create a space where people can craft their own original instruments and share them in the metaverse. We also offer an environment that combines real-world STEAM education with the exhibition and sale of digital art on Web3, including turning these creations into NFTs for sale and donating the proceeds to charitable causes. At the same time, we will carry out activities that use musical instruments to promote positive mental well-being. Through collaboration with experts, we will explore what music can offer when mental support is needed.

Anthony Chau, co-founder and CEO of Chord Hero, has been appointed as an organizer for B Lab Hong Kong!

Chord Hero is the Grand Prize winner of the Digital Ehon Awards.

We've been discussing a collaboration ever since then, so I'm happy it's finally come to fruition.
