The Entrepreneurs Café is coming up on Nov. 20. This time we will learn more about Blockchain: what, why and how. The blockchain technology created the backbone of a new type of internet by allowing digital information to be distributed but not copied. Originally devised for the digital currency, Bitcoin, the tech community is now finding other potential uses for the technology. Blockchain technology present opportunities for disruptive innovation, it enables global business transactions with less friction and more trust. How does it work? Are you ready to begin your Blockchain? Join us in the discussions after keynote presentations by Lara Plandsoen, IBM and Marcel Damen, Horizon Internet Technologies.

Our speakers will explain the Blockchain technology by presenting how it can be utilized in industrial solutions (how-to-use cases) and will involve the participants in a workshop on how Blockchain can be used in everyday life as well as in the future.
