This edition of The Blockchain Hub at Davos promises to be stirring because, despite the enormity of the changes that have taken place in the world, the pandemic did not put blockchain in lockdown, instead it enabled it to open up and flourish. The program includes over 100 global initiators. Together they intend to spark and ignite impact to improve how the world functions.
In recognition of blockchain as the transformative tech of the 21st century, the Blockchain Hub Davos program will begin on the 23 of May next with the publication of the inaugural African Blockchain Report, published by CV VC in collaboration with Standard Bank. It highlights that obstacles to global transformations seem surmountable when seeing Africa’s urgent actions to utilize blockchain becoming the norm.
The report shows in detail how Africa has self-accelerated blockchain as a positive force for the well-being of its people and economies. It will present the first-ever benchmarkable data set on blockchain VC activity in Africa and show how funding far outpaced all other sectors.
The report’s findings will demonstrate how nations and stakeholders are beginning to step in and embrace Africa’s self-determining participation in the fourth industrial revolution. While it is a fact that African nations are amongst the fastest crypto adopters globally, the CV VC report moves past crypto. It looks at the underlying revolutionary blockchain movement, set to enable Africa to transact and interact for the well-being of its people and economies.
