Ideas Abound for Business Blockchains, But Who's Going to Pay?
After a seemingly unending period of blockchain R&D, major enterprises are eager to edge their technology toward production.
At least that was the sentiment at Blockchain Expo Global on Tuesday, where attendees at the Olympia London venue assembled to hear from experts in supply chain tracking, energy, logistics, freight and more - all of whom have been working to apply distributed ledgers to incumbent business problems.
Citing an unprecedented convergence of technologies, speakers often sought to sound the bell about a coming revolution in efficiency that could be unlocked should enterprises find novel ways of deploying the tech.
Indeed, Vincent Doueizel, vice president food and sustainability at the non-profit Lloyd's Register Foundation, went so far as to call blockchain a missing piece that would "completely revolutionize" the food industry.
