The European Blockchain Partnership (EBP) is considered to be a vehicle for cooperation amongst Member States to exchange experience and expertise in technical, policy making and regulatory fields and prepare for the launch of EU-wide Blockchain applications across the Digital Single Market for the benefit of the public and private sector. The Partnership was founded in April 2018 with 22 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK, Greece, Romania) signing a Declaration on its establishment.

For their expertise, AceBlock experts have been invited to participate in EBSI Core Service Team and therefore advise on the use of appropriate blockchain technologies and selection of other crucial technical parameters that will ensure such system is safe, reliable and scalable.

For 2019, four use cases have been selected to be further developed, meaning the delivery of prototype applications on the EBSI blockchain is expected by 2020. These are:
