About the Summit This one-day conference seeks to bring together government, industry leaders, financial institutions, investors and academia to discuss innovative strategies and solutions to the applications of Blockchain. The Blockchain is still in its infancy and facing challenges to overcome in terms of cross-border collaboration, including technical difficulties, information asymmetry across geographies and ambiguities regarding business applications. Through actively engaging thought leaders in the field, we hope to help attendees develop a better understanding of Blockchain and its role in bringing further innovation to the economy. This event covers Blockchain innovations and developments in financial industry, IoT, regulations and compliance, crowdfunding, crowdsales, international trades, data management, energy and supply chains areas. The conference will act as an open forum for issue-driven dialogues, strategies and collaboration among Blockchain trailblazers. We expect to discuss a range of specific real-world applications across markets and industries, such as finance, IoT, and philanthropy through keynotes, panels and shark tanks, followed by startup pitch demo. What makes the summit even more exciting is that government officials, influencers, regulators and compliance from China will join our discussion on how to achieve widespread Blockchain prosperity. All of these will contribute to building a clearer picture for the future of Blockchain. Whether you are a Blockchain novice or evangelist, this summit will be the premier forum for today’s leading minds interested in leveraging Blockchain to revolutionize the future of business.
