Abstract:

The financial sector has lagged behind most other industries in terms of digitalisation. Blockchain technology offers a valid solution to optimise current processes and eliminate some of the shortcoming. Hansen will be giving you an in-depth commentary on the current development of blockchain applications specifically in the financial/asset management industry with a focus on the use of smart contracts to build an interoperable, decentralised infrastructure for asset management.
