Details
Blockchain technology has expanded beyond adoption by innovators and first movers to include a growing number of organisations working together to rapidly turn blockchain’s promised value into tangible business results.
In this briefing Rupert Colchester will reflect on how active blockchain networks are bringing real transformative change to supply chains and streamlined transactions to a number of industries including government, financial services, healthcare, retail and agriculture, what the new digital infrastructure and partnerships will look like for Australia, and the opportunities for businesses to build trust into transactions and entire business processes in this time of uncertainty.
