Building the future of finance
A three-day summit to disseminate how the Blockchain technology will reshape our Fintech ecosystem and improve the returns on investment...
Although popularity of the Blockchain technology is growing globally, the technology is yet to find its wide application in the Indian industries. Lack of proper understanding, dearth of information and fear of the unknown possibilities are some of the main causes behind the slow acceptance of the high-potential technology in our country.
As Indian government is now encouraging paperless transactions and moving towards a strategic plan to shift maximum percentage of transactions online, which requires an authentic, strong and secure payment medium, Blockchain technology can play a key role in the process. Thus, dissemination of the effective application tools and procedures of the technology has been the need of the hour.
To provide a complete exposure to all aspects of the Blockchain technology, Confer Global will organise a three-day event – Blockchain Technology Summit from November 7 to 9, 2017, at Courtyard by Marriott, in Mumbai.
