Food Supply chain of tomorrow: The convergence of more educated customers & a possible transparency powered by distributed ledgers

• To feed the fast growing population with richer diet and in order to meet the expectations of savvy and more demanding customers, the food supply chain will have to revolutionise its current model and leverage emerging new technologies
• We will explore how and why blockchains appears to be an appealing solutions to improve the food supply chain efficiency by enabling traceability and real time compliance from farm to fork

• How blockchain increases traceability and transparency in the supply chain – benefits for the supplier and customer
• Reducing or eliminating fraud and errors in the supply chain
• What is the potential future influence of blockchain within the consumer goods and retails industries?

• How Blockchain will contribute to a change in the business models within the energy sector, and how can it build credibility
• Examining how blockchain technology can provide some upgrades existing systems or can replace legacy ones.
• Blockchain applications for energy trading – and selling energy from your own systems
• Supporting community energy models, electricity termination, verification of green electricity certificates, and automates reading of smart meters

• Blockchain benefits for businesses, governments and citizens
• Real success cases of Exonum blockchain implementation
• Crystal analytical tool for blockchain

• Distributed ledger technology holds great promise, but to date, adoption has been stymied by the speed of first generation ledgers, which function on the order of seven transactions per second.
• But if distributed ledgers could conduct transactions as fast or faster than the VISA network, and charge a fraction of a penny for each, what are the possibilities? From a music industry project from Matt Sorum (Guns N Roses), to MachineZone (one of the largest gaming companies), to Open VMS (the OS that powers critical infrastructure like nuclear power plants & stock markets), people are finding new uses for next generation distributed ledgers, which were not possible with early blockchain and other DLTs.
• When transactions are lightning fast, what will you build?

• Moving patient data within the blockchain
• Data sharing in healthcare – patient privacy and security
• Increased trial visibility; automated patient consent and patient privacy

• How will blockchain technology be applied to the logistics and transportation industry?
• Discussing the advantages – Increased transparency and data sharing across the supply chain, better tracking of orders, reducing errors, better fraud detection etc.
• Discussing the challenges of adoption
• What is the potential future influence of blockchain within the logistics and transportation industries?

A short report on Gaming and e-Sports markets and trends. Right now e-Sports is one the hottest markets on a planet, but it’s still in “My Space era in early 2000”. It has a lot of challenges on the road to become the biggest Sport on a planet. eSports became the global phenomenon with arising of live broadcasting platforms and broadcasting studios. But what will be the second and the most important wave to push eSports forward? With unlocking of blockchain and smart-contracts technology, we have unique opportunity to answer this question.

Julian will speak about the journey at the BP Digital Innovation Organisation, looking at blockchain and how they moved from thinking it might disrupt to taking a broader strategic opportunity

• Existing siloed approaches to handling sensitive corporate and personal data are broken. Insecure workarounds and shadow IT have proliferated as infrastructures have decentralised.
• Gospel uses private distributed ledger technology to secure enterprise data, and provides permissioned access to internal and external third parties on a ‘need to know’ basis, delivering an immutable record of all data transactions – ending speculative data sharing, eliminating data breaches, and complying with tough new global personal data legislation.
• Gospel offers a completely new way of accessing and controlling corporate and personal data – technology described by IDC as “the first practical enterprise application of blockchain”
