ELISE Webinar: Blockchain and proof of location supporting digital government

How blockchain can enhance the location and location-enabled services?

This webinar will deep dive into how blockchain technology can support location-enabled public services and digital government. Two aspects are of particular interest in this regard.

- Firstly, the use of blockchain to support decentralised and privacy-friendly “proof of location” services attesting to someone or something’s presence at a certain geographic location, at a certain time.

-Secondly, smart contracts (agreements between two entities in the form of computer code that runs on the blockchain), can provide increased certainty and transparency, and automation in transactional public services and beyond.
This webinar will provide the audience with insights on:

Definitions, background and contexts for blockchain in the location domain;
EU policy context related to the uptake of blockchain for public services;
Definitions and significance of proof of location for public services;
Smart contracts and their potential to increase certainty and transparency in the public sector;
Use cases providing examples of state-of-the-art blockchain solutions in the location domain and beyond;
Key takeaway messages and conclusions.
