Blockchain

by Bruno Schroeder, Microsoft

Blockchain may be one of the most transformative ideas since the Internet.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are merely one application of the blockchain concept : due to its distributed and decentralized organisation, blockchain is being used on multiple contexts ranging from contract management in insurance to IOT enabling micro-payment.

The speaker will introduce the technology behind blockchain, and illustrate through a few case studies how its implementation can create new ways to re-invent business relationships.
