Rotterdam Business School will host a blockchain information event on January 27th, 2020 at the Rotterdam Business School, Kralingse Zoom 91

Blockchain is a new disruptive technology that together with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data promises to change the way we do business today. It seems to have a major potential to make supply chains more efficient and transparent by cutting out middlemen and creating possibilities to do trusted peer-to-peer transactions on a global scale. However:

• What is Blockchain exactly and how does it work?
• What can Blockchain be used for?
• Are there proven user cases?
• How can blockchain be used to create value?

These and other questions related to Blockchain will be answered at the event.
