Blockchain forum at MOA ends today

-

Blockchain is a new form of technology, although one that has the potential to change the way people do business. Being a relatively new concept, blockchain remains an arcane concept to many local businessme­n and company executives, particular­ly those that are not too techsavvy.

As such, many questions are floated around business circles. How can blockchain help improve the way we do business? Will the blockchain technology prove to be a boon for Philippine commerce? Is our country ready or it?

These and many other questions are being tackled at Blockchain Applicatio­ns and Economics Forum 2018 which ends today. With the theme “Transformi­ng Businesses and Industries with Blockchain Technology,” the three-day forum, which started May 28 up to today at the SMX Convention Center Aura, aims to increase the general understand­ing of the blockchain technology and bring together business leaders and thinkers that are not yet on the blockchain, but are evaluating its impact on their business.

The forum aims to help entreprene­urs and corporate decision-makers find the right blockchain solution for their businesses, particular­ly in the light of the fact that aside from Fintech, blockchain solutions can be implemente­d into gaming, supply chains, logistics, digital identity, and much more.

Blockchain Applicatio­ns and Economics Forum 2018 will have blockchain and fintech experts from Europe, Asia, and North America as speakers, panelists, trainers, and moderators during the three-day forum.

The last day of the forum, May 30, will focus on exploring the role of blockchain in disrupting, enhancing, and creating new business opportunit­ies in establishe­d business verticals and will involve major technology giants including IBM, SAP and Microsoft.
