Jan 11 Blockchain: Functionalities & Possibilities, 2018

Dear Alumni,
Join us for the first INSEAD alumni event of the New Year, featuring Ming Chan from the Ethereum Foundation, a key organization contributing to the ecosystem for Ethereum-based blockchain distributed computing.

Blockchain: Functionalities & Possibilities, Zurich
January 11, 2018

Ethereum has become the leading platform for blockchain application development. Novel business models have been created on or powered by Ethereum, many of which have used Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) as a new avenue of financing. Perhaps more importantly, business, trade, industry and other sectors around the world are already incorporating Ethereum into their systems to provide more value to their customers as well as improve their internal systems. Stiftung Ethereum, the Swiss Foundation based in Zug, leads and supports development of the Ethereum platform.
Ming Chan will give a primer on Ethereum and will address the audience’s questions. Moreover, she will highlight the importance of supporting a growing evolving ecosystem.
