“As with other disruptive technologies, blockchain requires deep study from a variety of perspectives to understand its broader implications,” he said.
“Like our corporate and government members, these companies are at very different stages of their blockchain transformations. We can foster more innovation through collaboration by creating a network of builders in the blockchain space alongside leaders in enterprise and government,” Don Tapscott, Executive Chairman, and Institute co-founder revealed.
In 2017, when Blockchain research institute was founded, it announced its affiliation with National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) situated in India.
NASSCOM is one of India’s leading tech organizations. The partnership was to alleviate ignorance about the digital world and promote its awakening in one of the world’s most populous country.
NASSCOM chairman was excited about the launch research initiative. Though, he believes that the promotion of Blockchain use in the country will be a slow but steady movement.
“The centre would “provide high-end technology capabilities” to the nation of India,
One of the BRI’s goals is to “build blockchain-based economies around the world.”
