“Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong and Israel are the main #blockchain hubs in the world, each with its own uniqueness." - Dr. Jacob Mendel, Israeli Blockchain expert Yesterday, we organized Blockchain in Focus, an event focused on real world applications of blockchain with practitioners & experts, with Tel Aviv University and AngelHub. It started off with a keynote by Dr. Jacob Mendel, Managing Director of Blockchain Research at Tel Aviv University followed by a panel discussion with Mark Cheng, CEO Helix Accelerator, Bryan Wu, Cofounder Bitwork & Gram M., CTO WHub & AngelHub. Key takeaways: - Blockchain is not the cure to all. Just because it applies, does not mean it is adding value to the company. - Practical Applications of Blockchain: Supply Chain Integrity (3M), Frequent Flyer Programme (Singapore Airlines) - Blockchain simplifies complex transactions, specifically in these areas: Logistics and Capital Markets; by improving real-time visibility, settlement time, efficiency, transparency and reducing cost. - “Blockchain 1.0, now 2.0. It’s an evolution, things will change. Don’t jump into it so quickly, learn it, educate yourself then see how to use it, then accelerate” - Dr. Jacob Mendel #blockchain #business #entrepreneurship #startups #investing
