About Session:
​When we think about the potential of blockchain, it’s important to take a global perspective. Our banking system, government machinery and legal system; all have their inequities. But Blockchain has the potential to improve these institutions — to make them faster, cheaper, more efficient. The real transformational potential of blockchain is for countries where the democratic, financial, and legal institutions either don’t exist, are corrupt, or are inaccessible to a large section of the population.

This international panel of experts will give their viewpoint on how blockchain is transforming our businesses and our world.

The Value of Distributed Ledger Technology
Speaker: Anand E - Co Founder, Finiteloop Systems
About Session: For the past few years, financial institutions have been investing in blockchain technology with the idea that it could reduce the cost and complexity of many of its processes, ranging from payments and settlements to tracking shareholder assets.
Much discussion has focused on cryptocurrencies, rather than the underlying blockchain technology which has the potential to reshape the investment industry, offering significant opportunities as well as generating potential risks to system stability. Blockchain could facilitate secure decentralised transactions, reduce incidents of fraud, and increase transparency and efficiency in multi-party transactions.
