О проекте Blockchain4EU: Blockchain for Industrial Transformations - Final Event

The final event of #Blockchain4EU: Blockchain for Industrial Transformations will take place on May 24 2018 at the European Commission headquarters, Berlaymont Building (Schuman Room) in Brussels.

This event will gather high-level policy makers, Blockchain stakeholders and others interested in the development or uptake of Blockchain and other Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) for non-financial / industry sectors.

To know more about the #Blockchain4EU project please visit the JRC's EU Policy Lab blog.

The main goals of the event are to:

• launch the project’s final report based on research conducted by DG JRC’s EU Policy Lab;
• present five speculative design prototypes co-created for policy purposes with multiple stakeholders in Health, Advanced Manufacturing, Transports and Logistics, Energy and Creative Industries.
• and engage the audience in a series of interactive dialogues, with a final roundtable on the paths ahead for Blockchain and other DLTs in industrial / non-financial sectors. 

Registration is mandatory to enter the Berlaymont building. Furthermore, there is a limited number of places available for the event corresponding to 80 tickets.
