THE BLOCKCHAIN REVOLUTION IS HERE.
IT IS TIME TO DISRUPT CONVENTIONAL BUSINESS MODELS.
Forward-looking governments see the potential of blockchain technology far beyond the financial sphere. They are much eager to consider the possibility of integrating blockchain technology into communication with their people in areas such as land registry, payment of social benefits, secured transactions as well as protection against election fraud.
Kenya is one among them and prioritizing its various service areas in public and private organizations that can benefit from blockchain technologies – and educate the market about the transformational potential of blockchain technology.
In Kenya’s capital city, Nairobi, the World Blockchain Summit is set to take center stage and aims to connect global blockchain gurus, technology innovators, investors and startups in this space – with regional business and IT leaders from across key industry verticals to debate on the nature of blockchain and its many potential to improve efficiency in every business processes.
