Does Blockchain Make Sense for your Business?

The Institute for the Future at the University of Nicosia is presenting the Cyprus Blockchain Summit on Wednesday, 10 July 2019 at the Hilton Park Hotel in Nicosia.  IMH is organising the Cyprus Blockchain Summit to help inform businesses of the latest trends and developments in Blockchain, and how this new disruptive technology can assist them. Experienced speakers and opinion leaders will examine the opportunities and threats of this emerging technology. They will analyse how Blockchain is challenging – some might even say redefining – the status quo, and provide attendees with a foresight on what to expect in the future.

One of this year’s speakers is Michael E. Bryant, the Chairman of the Board of the World Blockchain Foundation (.Net). Mr. Bryant also serves as the CEO of Blockchain Ventures International, and as Publisher and CEO of The Daily News | Blockchain. Throughout his career, he has acquired companies, founded startups, and served on corporate and government boards. He is a veteran of nine ICO’s, and advises Corporate Boards and Government Ministries on Blockchain strategy and implementation. Mr. Bryant holds a BSc in Finance & Accounting, an MBA in International Business, and an MA in International Relations. He is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and a Certified Blockchain Expert (CBE). In his presentation, Mr. Bryant will discuss whether Blockchain technology makes sense for business or not. Corporate boards in Cyprus and abroad have been in a quandary about Blockchain technology – while most understand that Blockchain is “an immutable, secure and transparent ledger”, they do not have a firm grasp of how it works, nor how it can benefit their organization. Mr. Bryant will try to shed some light on the return on investment of Blockchain and explain how organisations can incorporate Blockchain into their business. 

The Summit will be conducted in English. For more information regarding the event, please click here.
