Australia Releases Roadmap To A ‘Blockchain-Empowered Future’

2020-2-8 23:33

The Australian government will release its national blockchain roadmap on Friday, February 7, after almost a year of preparations.

It’s been about a year since the Ministry for Trade, Tourism and Investment and the Ministry for Industry, Science and Technology in Australia have made the announcement for the country’s national blockchain strategy that aims for global leadership and focuses on the wine, finance and banking sectors.

Domestic Wine to Receive Special Attention

Talking about the development of the program, Karen Andrews from the Ministry for Industry, Science and Technology mentioned the 5-year blockchain will highlight the work of researchers, startups, and regulators.

Since the wine sector in the country is set to have the AU$259.4 billion ($175 billion) worth, Andrews said blockchain technology is capable of strengthening export opportunities, seeing manufacturers will be able to trace their goods, especially when it comes to wine labeling and exports. 2,000 wine exporters in Australia ship to 123 destinations all over the world.

How Much Did Australia Spent on Blockchain?

The Australian government hasn’t yet allocated funds for the blockchain roadmap implementation. As it was noted in March 2019, some previous investments made by the liberal national government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison helped fund the Digital Transformation Agency in 2018-2019 with AU$700,000 (approx. $500,000) to explore what benefits the use of blockchain would bring to government payments.

It also funded Standards Australia with AU$350,000 (approx. $250,000) to create a set of guidenance for international and standardized blockchain standards.

How Much Other Countries Spent on Blockchain

The science and technology multi-stakeholder operation Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution UAE, together with the World Economic Forum and the Dubai Future Foundation, has released in January this year a paper that says deploying blockchain technology can save the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over $3 billion.

In the meantime, an important firm in Russia has recently decided to cut the country’s spending on blockchain development by half. The government-backed company Rostec wants to spend only 28.4 billion Rubles ($453.2 million) for developing blockchain technology by 2024, and not 55 billion ($877.8 million) or 85 billion Rubles ($1.3 billion), as it initially said it would.
