February newsletter of the EU Blockchain Observatory & Forum

Official Newsletter of the European Union Blockchain Observatory & Forum

We are pleased to present you with our monthly update on the activities of the European Union Blockchain Observatory & Forum.

#EUBlockchain publications

Tracking, tracing and supply chain has long been one of the most promising and talked about use cases for blockchains, and is one of the themes we are currently investigating. You can read about what happened in our 19 February Workshop on the subject here. 

We also posted video from a panel discussion we held on the work of the Observatory at the Ethereal Lounge in Davos during WEF week. 

And just in case you missed it, here is a link to our one-year anniversary newsletter, summarising what went on at the Observatory during year one, and looking ahead to the coming year.
