We reap massive benefits from working together. But strong trust is scarce. Since the early days of our societies, trust boundaries between individuals, businesses, institutions, and governments have prevented us from collaborating and dealing freely with each other. The blockchain can be seen as the core of a digital trust machine that people can use to replace the human and labor-intensive processes we have traditionally employed to overcome trust boundaries – such as trusted third parties (banks, notaries, platform provider such as AirBnB, certifiers such as Fairtrade…) or expensive investigations through regulators and audit firms.
The bitcoin payment network showcased that it is possible to perform high-value transactions, that is, send money around the world as simply as an e-mail, without the need for complicated systems of settlement and clearing processes run by banks and payment processors. The past two years have seen significant replications of the technology. Our goal is to provide a practical introduction to the technology for executives across industries in order to understand its disruptive potential.

Target audience: Executives across industries who would like to get an introduction to cutting-edge, decentralized digital technology (“blockchain”), its potential for disruption, and how it will affect their business.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
