Three LVGEA-assisted Companies Expanding to Las Vegas

Zuffa (UFC), HashRabbit & Fresenius Kabi approved for state incentives by GOED

LAS VEGAS— With the assistance of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA), three companies that plan to relocate or expand in Greater Las Vegas were approved for state incentives today by the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) board of directors.

These companies include Amami Systems/HashRabbit, Fresenius Kabi and Zuffa/UFC. In total, these will bring 65 new jobs to the region over the next five years.

Since Jan., the LVGEA has assisted in the expansion and relocation of 27 companies, projecting a total of more than 3,400 jobs over the next five years.

Amami Systems, LLC / HashRabbit – 15 jobs, $25 average wage

Amami Systems, LLC is a subsidiary of HashRabbit, a company that creates software and infrastructure to optimize cryptocurrency mining as well as assists in other areas within blockchain-related industries. With a primary concentration on the innovation of the systems that blockchain technology relies upon, the company plans to incorporate in Nevada and grow its enterprise blockchain infrastructure for their list of clients and investors worldwide.

The LVGEA assisted Amami Systems/HashRabbit in every aspect of the expansion process, including the incentive application and GOED presentation.

“Establishing HashRabbit headquarters in Las Vegas was of great importance to us, as most of the HashRabbit team attended school in Nevada or have lived in Nevada and have a deep connection to the Las Vegas tech community,” said HashRabbit Director of Mining Operations Neal Hill. “The vast number of opportunities Nevada presents to growing businesses, and the ease of working with the LVGEA made this an easy choice.”

Amami Systems delivers the product of HashRabbit, which is recognized and respected for paving the way for blockchain as the first company in its field to establish in the Greater Las Vegas region. Learn more: hashrabbit.co

This proposed project includes a 120,000 sq. ft. facility that will provide both medicines and medical devices to serve Nevada hospitals, clinics and markets in states including Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico and other states across the western region.
