4. February 2021

The fourth International Blockchain Forum had its focus on the application of Blockchain technology in the Healthcare sector.

Once again, we brought together renowned scientists, promising start-ups and successful established companies from Switzerland and our partner countries Great Britain, USA and Canada. Due to the actual situation the event was helt online.

The conference is a premier event for scientists, business representatives, students and other interested parties. Even in the online version the event facilitated the dialogue between academia and industry around this topical issue. We came up with something special for this. All presentations have been pre-recorded and are available for registered participants in advance. Registration if free of charge.

Have a look at our Agenda.
