Blockchain has the potential of not only opening the Mediterranean region to vast new opportunities, be those in trade and commerce or otherwise.

The session will explore the potential of blockchain for the Mediterranean’s private sector. It will tackle the requirements for growth, as well as present the pioneer businesses that are making breakthrough advancements in blockchain.
