BLING

Magazine: Blockchain and Government in Europe

15 February 2021 - Published by Evite van Winkoop
The BLING consortium has published a special magazine for their 2021 Conference which is held at March 3. This magazine brings together interviews from blockchain practitioners, developers, and policy makers from across Europe. In this magazine we identify the key lessons learned so far from officials, policy makers and developers as they enable the adoption of blockchain in government. This learning is complemented by the introduction of 8 use cases from BLING, highlighting how BLING partners are innovating, designing and building blockchain-enabled services.

BLING’s 2021 online conference will provide an opportunity for practitioners and governments to review the state of play for Blockchain in Government. We have contributions from key EU stakeholders and government partners from across Europe.
