INATBA, the International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications, has recently launched the Industrial Blockchain Task Force, a pioneering effort that aims to evaluate and enhance the use of blockchain technology in various industrial sectors, with a particular focus on VeChain. This task force brings together experts from both the public and private sectors to analyze and scrutinize tech infrastructure projects that utilize blockchain technology.
The main objective of the task force is to produce a comprehensive report by January 2024, which will map out these projects, evaluate their technical foundations, identify synergies, and address any gaps that may exist. This report will provide valuable insights for decision-makers, foster innovation, and strengthen reporting and regulatory compliance efforts across Europe.
VeChain is thrilled to be part of this initiative, alongside industry giants such as Siemens, Accenture, and Fujitsu. Together, they are driving innovation, evaluating use cases, and exploring the role of blockchain in the European Union.
The Industrial Blockchain Task Force’s core mission is to empower industrial decision-makers by analyzing projects that build robust industrial products and processes, leveraging the synergy of blockchain and AI. VeChain, with its expertise in blockchain technology and its applications in supply chain management and product authentication, plays a significant role in this collaborative effort.
Ricardo Simoes, Executive Director of INATBA, emphasizes the importance of this initiative, stating that it represents a significant step forward in facilitating EU collaboration and underlines the versatility of blockchain use in pillar industries, ensuring technological advancement in both public and private sector projects.
Sebastian Becker, the initiator of the Industrial Blockchain Task Force and a Board Member of INATBA, highlights the importance of this endeavor for the EU’s future technology landscape and innovation discussions.
The key focus areas of the task force include evaluating existing use cases, promoting corporate and consortial collaboration, advocating for standardization in major industries, and exploring blockchain’s role in upcoming EU policy goals and initiatives. Task force members will actively participate in bi-weekly meetings, benefiting from a dynamic, cross-industry environment and collaborating with experts from diverse fields.
VeChain’s unique insights into supply chain and product authenticity will contribute to these discussions, potentially revolutionizing these areas in the industrial sector.
As utility tokens move towards regulatory compliance with MiCA in 2024, the Industrial Blockchain Task Force, with VeChain’s participation, will play a crucial role in summarizing the capabilities of blockchain technology, especially in relation to EU policy goals and initiatives.
Key industry leaders, including VeChain, are leading the way in this task force. For those interested in participating in this transformative initiative, now is the time to get involved and help shape the future of technology integration.
