Details
The African continent has massive challenges with transactions and doing business that, with the help of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, can be transformed into simpler and more efficient ways of working. The conference will explore how this technology can simplify and streamline systems and processes across various industries to reduce time, costs and fraud, become highly secure and transparent, and remove human error and inefficiencies.
Join us at Africa’s leading blockchain and cryptocurrency conference and learn how companies and individuals alike are using this technology, what some of the most interesting use cases and applications are and what regulations are being considered and implemented across various jurisdictions.
