References to Blockchain Technology are becoming more and more frequent, but what is it? And where do you start if you want to learn how it may be relevant to you? This video explains the basics in just two minutes. Similarly, I found the delivery in this video grated slightly, but the content is excellent and I now know an awful lot more than I did 20 minutes ago!
Additionally a recent article describes how a group of food giants including Walmart, Unilever, Nestle and Dole have teamed up to explore how to apply the technology to their food supply chains. The article includes a slightly longer video in which a number of CEO’s discuss what the technology is, it’s different uses and the benefits it can bring.
I will continue to gather and share information on the subject, especially examples from the HE sector, if you have any questions or useful articles we can share do get in touch.
