Blockchain & Energy
How can the blockchain technology be used in the field of energy? Today and tomorrow. Revolution or just hype?
Join us for a presentation by Dr. Christoph Sutter, live from Switzerland.
Dr. Sutter will explore the role of blockchain as a disruptive technology in the energy sector.
