We’ve reached a tipping point in the enterprise blockchain space. Hundreds of production networks are now running on a number of different technologies and across a mix of industries, with more coming online daily. The debate is no longer about whether to deploy blockchain but rather how to build production networks that scale and interoperate. Increasingly, industries will coalesce around networks that will be key to market-making, exchanging essential business information and establishing of a common system of record. The challenge now is ensuring an open and stable infrastructure able to support the widespread adoption of blockchain. In the session, Arnaud will explore some next steps for scaling enterprise blockchain in production environments. He will touch on considerations like blockchain as a service solutions and avoiding vendor lock. In the talk, he will draw from a number of production use cases across industries like healthcare, finance, supply chain and more.
