Injective Has Launched The Injective Nova Program At The Hong Kong Web3 Festival, Partnering With @Microsoft And Web3labs (@Web3labs_club) To Recruit And Support Top Chinese Blockchain Developers.
The announcement was made on stage by Injective's Dev Ecosystem Growth lead Chuhan, Microsoft Strategy Technical Lead Jerry Lu, and Web3Labs CEO Caspar Wong.
The program offers participants a prize pool, Microsoft Azure cloud credits, and long-term incubation resources. Each partner plays a defined role: Injective contributes technical support, ecosystem grants, and incubation; Microsoft brings Azure cloud infrastructure and enterprise AI capabilities; and Web3Labs provides on-the-ground access to Chinese developer networks.
The Hong Kong Web3 Festival, running April 20–23 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and co-hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, provided the backdrop for the announcement.
The tie-up extends Microsoft's established practice of pairing Azure with specific Layer 1 ecosystems. The tech giant has previously entered similar arrangements with Aptos Labs and Axelar. For Injective, the Nova Program represents a push into the Chinese developer market — a large and technically capable talent pool that continues to operate under significant regulatory constraints at home.
