Blockchain everywhere
I started working on the topic of blockchain technology a couple of years ago. At that time there were hardly any talks on blockchain, maybe 2-3 at the entire conference and even these were mostly informational. The tide is finally rising. A quick search yields 51 presentations with the word “blockchain” in it. A session on Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies looks interesting (disclosure: my paper on Initial Coin Offerings is there) and so does a session on FinTech & Blockchain. One particular blockchain-related topic particularly flourished: achieving tracebility and combating counterfeits through blockchain. There is a number of presentations in this stream, some listed below (disclosure: first one on the list is my paper). My prediction is that we are nowhere near saturation on this topic and the number of presentations will keep growing for a few years still…
Does Blockchain Facilitate Responsible Sourcing? Case of Supply Chain of Diamonds
Blockchain Adoption for Combating Deceptive Counterfeits
Blockchain Adoption for Traceability in Food Supply Chain Networks
A Blockchain Business Model For Green Sourcing
Searching the Road From Farm to Fork: Adoption of Information Systems For Food Traceability
