The whole of the conference is available for a recap with the full agenda to find the sections of specific interest.

The benefits blockchain can bring to the consumer – even if they don’t know that’s what is driving it – was the discussed with Brian Choi of The Food Institute, Stephanie Benedetto and Phil Derasmo from Queen of Raw, and Stephan Nilsson of UNISOT who have all built their businesses on the BSV blockchain. Traceability in both the food and textile industry is of significant concern to consumers – and an opportunity for businesses. In all of these organisations, the blockchain is able to provide immutable proof of where a garment or food product has originated and much more beside, such as when, where and by whom a fish was caught or who made a garment, where the fabric came from and where it was shipped from.

The Middle East has been an early adopter of blockchain technology and speakers from the across the region including Saeed Mohammed Ali Alhebsi of the UAE Ministry of HR and Emiratisastion; Muhammad Salman Anjum, Head of BSV Hub for InvoiceMate; Mohammed Ibrahum Jega, Co-founder Dominuem Blockchain Solutions Ltd; and Ahmed Yousif, Middle East lead, BSV Blockchain for Govt Initiative, who spoke about public sector and governments who seem to be a step ahead when it comes to utilising BSV Blockchain.
