The event will gather some of the most interesting blockchain experts like Vanessa Grellet from Consensys or Marjan Delatinne from Ripple to give their opinion on how the traditional industries will be disrupted by the blockchain technology and which are the key opportunities for startups.
On top of that, very hot topics like the futuer of funding will be discussed – taking a look at whether blockchain startups should choose a traditional VC funding or ICOs. Among other things, burning questions will be answered analysing in which sectors the blockchain technology actually makes sense.
