Blockchain in supply chains: a perfect match reaching commercial maturity
This report is available to those subscribed to the IoT & Enterprise module.
Back in October 2018 we highlighted supply chain management as one of the most promising and dynamic areas for non-crypto use of blockchain. Almost a year on, blockchain in supply chains has matured commercially, providing solutions to some of the sector’s long-held problems such as counterfeit goods, as well as use cases for the circular economy. Technology maturity has also given rise to new innovative players, resulting in expansion of the ecosystem.
The recent Blockchain in Supply Chain Conference in Athens highlighted this maturity as it brought together major digital players, such as Accenture and IBM, as well as those from the logistics and shipping industries.
