The neutralization or elimination of business inhibitors is one of the main characteristics of Blockchain technology whose impact can translate into an increase in trust and transparency with a high potential for reconfiguration of many business models and industries.

Usually more associated with the recent crypto-coin phenomenon, Blockchain technology is, however, much more than that. In fact, in addition to financial services, a technology that creates permanent and transparent transactions records contributes to the elimination of intermediaries opening up an unimaginable new world of applications.

In a context of digital transformation, Blockchain technology will certainly play a central role in the inescapable themes of the digital economy: security, privacy and effectiveness in interactions.

To get to know and discuss Blockchain technology and its potential to contribute to the new business reality, we invite you to join us in this event.

This event is included in the European Cyber Security Month initiative:
