ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:
We are on a mission to educate the masses on the transformative potential working knowledge of the emerging Blockchain technology.

Understand Blockchain Consensus Algorithms, Smart Contracts, a core idea and computational model of Blockchain that enables automation, autonomy, scalability and transparency. How to think of innovative application models, leveraging the Blockchain technology using one of the top six frameworks.

With a thorough and well-structured course material, this course helps students build a strong foundation in Blockchain and cryptographic technologies related concepts and then advance their practical skills and knowledge in the subject through real-world examples and use-cases.

You will learn the proven ways of approaching different business problems by following Blockchain frameworks targeting phase-wise project management and an implementation methodology following Blockchain best practices.

A WAY-FORWARD TO A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY:
Blockchain holds the promise of bringing greater efficiency and transparency to the BFSI industry, for example, allowing cross-border transactions to be made in real-time and money to be exchanged at the speed with which information moves today. 

Blockchain technology has shown its ability to revolutionize different industries. The features of decentralization, transparency, and immutability appeal to business sectors worldwide. Blockchain technology is used in a wide range of technology-based applications, including digital identity, supply chain management, smart contracts, and payment systems.

As more organizations adopt Blockchain technology and successfully integrate it into their operations, the demand for Blockchain professionals is also increasing exponentially in all the industries, such as banking, healthcare, travel, insurance, supply chain, real estate, etc.

What's THE FUTURE OF BLOCKCHAIN IN THE BUSINESS WORLD AND RELATED CHALLENGES:

  • As per a PwC report, 77% of the financial institutions are anticipated to embrace Blockchain technology as a core part of their in-production system or process by the end of 2020.
  • Gartner forecasts that Blockchain technology will generate an annual business value of around USD 3 Trillion by 2030.
  • Financial crime is becoming a greater threat for banks, business institutions, and individuals to handle and control. 
  • Regulators and financial authorities are challenged to introduce new strategies to detect and prevent financial crime using Digital Technologies and draw a distinction between fraud and financial crime. 
  • Review why applications following generalized security framework, traditional approach to security and enterprise security are struggling hard to protect data and why Blockchain is the only solution stands out as a most secure platform today.
