With the upcoming launch of a blockchain center of excellence focused on fintech, Geneva joins Wisekey\u2019s centers in India, Mauritius and Rwanda.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Geneva is now part of a new network of “centers of excellence interconnected on the blockchain” set up by the cybersecurity company Wisekey<\/a>, which already has three centers in India, Mauritius and Rwanda. The objective of these centers is to promote the blockchain on a worldwide scale.<\/p>\n

The partnership that launched these centers was formed between Wisekey and the Blockchain Research Institute (BRI<\/a>) based in Canada and co-founded by Don Tapscott. The Geneva site will focus on fintech (financial technology), digital applications for wealth management and commodities trading.<\/p>\n

A second era of the Internet<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“The blockchain represents the second era of the Internet. We are moving from an information network to an Internet of value,” says Don Tapscott.<\/p>\n

He listed a series of concrete applications that are on the brink of revolutionizing society faster than expected. Blockchain must, for example, allow better traceability of products – whose origin can be traced back to the source and made more transparent -, encourage the direct monetization of music by the authors themselves (through smart contracts registered on the blockchain) or eliminate the need for large numbers of intermediaries in transactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
