The epicenter of blockchain collaboration and rebuilding global trust

by Arthur · January 11, 2023

CasperLabs and CV Labs today unveiled the program for The Blockchain Hub in Davos, Switzerland, taking place January 16-19, 2023. Blockchain Hub Davos offers a multi-stakeholder venue to meet global participants from a variety of industries, governments and professional bodies along with blockchain leaders.

Blockchain Hub Davos intends to facilitate more action than discourse. This action will ensure a mandate for blockchain technology to rebuild global trust. Around the world, mistrust is tearing at the world’s socio-economic structure. From geopolitics to cryptocurrency, certain events have given way to fewer and fewer reasons to trust leaders and institutions. It is now incumbent on leaders to restore trust and lead with determination, so that there is security and an environment in which a divided world can be rebuilt. Blockchain’s role is crucial, and therefore the following will be examined during Blockchain Hub Davos:

Blockchain’s role in rebuilding trust, the way the world trades and socio-economic balances.
Blockchain’s role in creating improved business and public efficiency.
Blockchain’s future when it comes to creating new ways of interacting and building new universes.

Featuring the top 50 entities building in Switzerland, it will show that despite global macroeconomic challenges in 2022, the fundamentals of Crypto Valley’s strengths and its determined decentralized mindset have ensured that Crypto Valley continued to expand steadily in 2022. Crypto Valley is not just a place, but rather a way of thinking. A mindset driven by a will to transform the way the world interacts and trades by focusing on utility rather than speculation.

Casper Labs Report — The State of Enterprise Blockchain Adoption 2023 will share findings from a recent survey of 603 business decision makers in three countries: the US, UK and China. This report describes the sentiment surrounding blockchain and its enterprise adoption. It shows that while many are confident they fully understand blockchain and can explain its value to their team, more than half of respondents (54%) still see “blockchain” and “crypto” as interchangeable terms, indicating that there are still obstacles to overcome. The report describes when and how respondents are more likely to adopt blockchain.
