Blockchain in the public sector

The world-renowned professional consulting firm BDO and the civil association PUBLICUM, o.z., the official organizer of BLOCKWALKS conference, focused on the utilisation of blockchain technology within the public sector have conducted an important global survey.

We have entered a new industrial revolution through advanced digitisation in recent years. The rapid growth of blockchain technology is set to play a vital role in advancing the public sector in coming years, due to such technology’s inherent attributes and ability to improve the functioning of various aspects of the public sector. Related new challenges arise on every scale, both for organisations working at the national level as well as smaller units such as municipalities. We have accordingly opted to collect more detailed information with regards to the potential issues and circumstances faced by organisations which are considering the implementation of blockchain within their current infrastructures.
