On Wednesday, 11th of December 2019, a Slovene Blockchain Partnership Meeting took place, bringing together various stakeholders of Slovenian blockchain ecosystem, including ministries, conventional and blockchain companies, local communities, educational institutions, representatives of civil society organizations and individuals, and others stakeholders of the ecosystem of convergence technologies.
The event titled “With the convergence of technologies to the digital transformation of society” aimed to reference examples of good practice in the field of blockchain and present all the activities the public sector and private companies have been involved in to lead blockchain technology to a wider adoption.
After introductory speeches made by the state representatives, Nena Dukuzov (Head of Project Group for New Economy and Blockchain Technologies at Ministry of Economic Development and Technology) summarized the department’s achievements that have made Slovenia widely recognized as a blockchain-friendly country. She also presented the European project EBSI (EU Blockchain Services Infrastructure), dedicated to bringing Europe a standardized and interoperable blockchain for the benefit of both, the public and the private sector.
Our COO Tomaž Furlan has also been invited to join the stage to explain AceBlock’s involvement in the EBSI in details, as our experts are part of the EBSI technical group, ensuring the scalability, reliability and safety of the emerging system. Besides, Tomaž has also been appointed by Republic of Slovenia to take part in the EBSI workgroup for Self-Sovereign Identity Framework (ESSIF).
To make the entire EBSI infrastructure and especially its usability easier to understand, the leading bodies have also prepared an explanatory video in which you can follow Eva’s User Story. As you can see, the interaction with public services will become much easier, whereas Eva will be able to:
– being in self-control of her Identity Data,
– having one standardized way to interact with the EU and National Administration and
– allowing full traceability of cross-border administrative processes.
