For the First Episode of the Digital Keynote Series, our expert panel with superstars from the United Nations and the Swedish Government, moderated by a world-famous radio host and TEDx Speaker - dive into how this remarkable and underutilised tech can join the fight against a global recession and remove barriers to unleash its potential. And its free to attend!

The Facts: In 2019, Blockchain spending was estimated to be $2.7 billion - an increase of 80% over 2018. While the current growth rate is quite impressive, it’s only a miniscule 0.3% of total ICT spending! ICT spend in new technologies (IoT, AI, AR/VR, etc.) is estimated to have reached $961 billion in 2019.
