On August 29, The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published the schedule of an international conference on blockchain technology the following month.
“Blockchain has the potential to transform how a wide range of industries function. Fulfilling its potential, however, depends on the integrity of the processes and requires adequate policies and measures while addressing the risks of misuse. Governments and the international community will play a significant role in shaping policy and regulatory frameworks that are aligned with the emerging challenges and foster transparent, fair and stable markets as a basis for the use of blockchain,” the news release says.
Hence, a talk about the full potential of blockchain is needed for co-operation to acknowledge and evaluate the chances and the risks of using blockchain. According to The Coin Desk’s article, the discussion will feature OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria (who was titled “World Leader in AI World Society” in 2018 by MDI), the Prime Ministers of Serbia, Bermuda and the Republic of Mauritius and the State Secretary of Slovenia.
The conference will take place at OECD’s headquarters in Paris on 4th and 5th of September with the attendance of 400 leaders, innovators and executives in both private and public sectors. The event will promote the potential and impact of blockchain on the world economy, cybersecurity and ways to make use of blockchain, green growth and sustainability and enforcement practices.
