Description

'BLOCKCHAIN' is a buzzword underpinning a range of social movements, social, economic, legal and political.
Flattened just a new database technology, first documented in 2008. The most famous example of an application: bitcoin.

Alongside emerging phenomena big data and the internet of things, blockchain is the most fascinating yet most elusive exponent of advancing digitalisation in the smart industry. Transaction and data registration are becoming transparent and irrefutable, which is going to radically change processes such as subcontracting and outsourcing, quality control, logistics and maintenance.

In the manufacturing industry, blockchain can have a very big impact. This was one of the reasons for TNO to investigate the industrial application possibilities of blockchain. www.blockchain.tno.nl

Robert de Groot saw the potential of this new technology and decided to develop his own applications for it. He started an online trading platform for digital currencies and in 2017 raised over EUR 3 million in funding for its development. In recent years, Robert has immersed himself in the subject matter and advised Rabobank, Stichting Democratie & Media, the Ministry of Finance, the Tax Authority and Ordina, among others, on the deployment and (im)possibilities of blockchain technology.

This evening is therefore intended to take away as many questions about blockchains and digital currencies as possible, in addition to a presentation by the speaker.
Please do not hesitate to ask these. Be there and don't let this new technology pass you by.
