One Summit to rule them all

The first European Blockchain Summit came to an end and here’s what happened.

Wednesday was a very special day for Viberate. As members of the Blockchain Alliance Europe, they hosted a conference of not just European but also global importance that’s brought together representatives of international governmental organizations and some of the leading blockchain companies in the business. And it led to some really encouraging conclusions.

Covering all bases
Blockchain companies are the bearers of the fourth industrial revolution making way for the new digital era. For them to thrive, it would be fitting for governments to provide them with favorable conditions. It’s the only way to make the countries involved and Europe, in general, some of the top blockchain destinations. And that’s exactly what’s happening. With a joint effort, they’re laying the groundwork for the future of pretty much everything — from finance to medicine and music.

A big thumbs-up
The Summit held a number of renowned international blockchain experts, including the one and only Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys, who was super impressed with Slovenia’s achievements in the field of blockchain: “I know that it’s a small nation, but a nation of strong technologists, nation of innovation. With respect to the blockchain space, there are an astonishing number of companies.”

And he’s right. On the chunk of land stretching over a good 20k km2, there are from 30 to 50 companies working with blockchain. With a little over 2M people, Slovenia is, therefore, a country with the biggest number of blockchain companies per capita in Europe. Which, I’d say, is pretty amazing.

Off to a flying start
All in all, the Summit was a success. The participants and guests alike were thrilled by the outcome of both the event and networking that followed, as they led to some really constructive talks. With an in-depth discussion of blockchain & ICO regulation, blockchain applicability and funding opportunities for EU companies, they made way for the adjustment of the legislative framework that will open the door to the economy of the future — not just in the fields of technology and finance, but pretty much everything you can imagine.

Viberate ended up hanging out at their headquarters with Joseph Lubin, Samuel Cassatt and Damir Yandrich from ConsenSys. And they seem to have had some pretty interesting chats.
