Blockchain for Global Trade - Finding the True North
In this workshop, we will look beyond the hype cycle around blockchain technology and focus on the real value to be gained by reconstructing enterprise processes into a global network of neutral entities. As trusted marketplaces built on interconnected blockchain networks evolve, they will drive global trade facilitation and GDP growth especially given the current geo-political situation. This global network must be enveloped with open governance ahead of standards to facilitate collaborative exchange among all members to thrive at scale.
