Details
Activating the blockchain Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince has launched the strategy to improve efficiency by shifting 100 per cent of government transactions to Blockchain network by 2020 and encourage paperless transactions, cutting almost 100 million paper transactions annually which comes in line with the Dubai Future Agenda that aims to transform the UAE into a global centre for designing the future. As a result of this, a number of Middle East companies have made substantial progress on understanding the opportunities, application and preparations of adopting the Blockchain technology within their company. With this in mind, we are hosting the Blockchain Middle East Forum which will be taking place on 25 September 2017 in Dubai, UAE. The forum will be attended by both public and private sector companies looking to explore and evaluate the latest technology innovation that demonstrates an opportunity to deliver a more seamless, safe, and efficient experience.
