Blockchain Technology is changing the way we all operate in the digital world. The way we pay bills, track delivery chains, transfer money and much more. It also allows us to monitor the authenticity and origin of the news we trust, all the way to the original source. One example of the possibilities of Blockchain technology in Finland can be found in the social and healthcare sector. It is identified that by using Blockchain technology, huge savings could be made. Numbers show that it would be possible to save up to 3 billion euros of a budget of more than 18 billion!

In the event, experts from various sectors of Blockchain technology will share use cases that will be visible shortly. They will also share how this will come to impact and influence legislation, taxation, and government in Finland. 

The event will also feature the ICO- Pitching department – here we will present and look for the best and most innovative Blockchain based solutions. The featured solutions will get reviewed by a panel of experts and a prestigious jury, and the best ideas will be rewarded with significant rewards!

The city of Helsinki is involved in building a growing platform for this future technology, a blockchain incubator, a technology hub, where knowledge and innovation can grow and evolve. The event will also feature Business Finland, Shellpay and Oracle.
