Purpose

At the dawn of the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, Blockchain (or
Distributed Ledger Technology, also known as DLT) is arguably the most
foundational technology in the Revolution. In an article published in
Harvard Business Review, Don Tapscott wrote The technology most
likely to change the next decade of business is NOT the social web, big
data, the cloud, robotics, or even artificial intelligence. Its the
blockchain,

Wholeheartedly agreeing with Mr. Tapscott, we are pleased to hold a

entrepreneurship. Particularly, we invite business entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and
researchers together to discuss practical aspects of the changes in business landscape.
