The technology,\u00a0 turning 10 this year, which brought cryptocurrencies to the world, starting with Bitcoin, is increasingly becoming the star technology of several sectors. If the model behind it brings questions and strategic moves in multiple sectors, its use raises lots of challenges. Finance, insurance, legal, health, governmental services, licensing, services, ticketing: Will 2019 be the confirmation year for Blockchain? Here is a world tour of initiatives from around the globe in a fast-evolving environment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Funds transfer: Rebuilding trust between transactional parties<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Focusing on financial transactions implementation, SWFT-blockchain (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.swft.pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.swft.pro<\/a>) is a startup using the disruptive network at low costs, registered in the Cayman Islands.\u00a0 With data driven through a distributed and duplicated approach, information is spread through a large network and grounded on fundamental values: transparency and viability. For Christina Chen, VP Global Marketing &amp; Business Development at SWFT and Hult MBA Class of 2015, it is built on a philosophy that solves the trust issues between third parties. The strengths of the network are inseparable, and they are high in areas where trust with organizations and corporations is low. Decentralized, distributed, and irreversible transactions bring a promising transparency. In addition, transaction time is intrinsically faster, if not immediate. Such evolution will make blockchain the technology of tomorrow, according to Ms. Chen. What\u2019s more, the technology rise will not just happen but will also be totally transparent for consumers, just like the current complex process happening behind a credit card payment transaction.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>VC: Opening venture-capitalism to small investors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In Mexico, AMG Block (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amgblock.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.amgblock.com<\/a>) is a venture capital fund oriented towards providing liquidity, ownership, transparency, and inclusivity through the use of smart contracts relying on blockchain technology, in an industry that has remained unchanged. While Initial Coin Offerings (or ICOs) have proven to be effective when it comes to raising capital, they lack tangible assets that support the token being offered to investors. AMG Block\u2019s solution is based on tokenizing the fund (a Security Token Offer) through selected platforms, essentially in the United States, with the underlying asset being the investment portfolio of the fund itself. The startup aims to change the manner in which assets generate value to investors. For Carlos Torres, Managing Director at AMG Block and Hult MBA Class of 2015, the fund\u2019s mission will not only provide liquidity to a traditionally illiquid market but eventually will also serve the venture capital sector to reach more investors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Energy: A virtual network to clarify the existing production one<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The energy sector is very active in the blockchain environment. Crossing production and distribution on existing networks, multiplication of existing intermediaries\ua7f7this vast economic scope offers blockchain new options to modulate contracts and to offer production visibility in real time, through the simplification of process schemas. In the United Kingdom, the startup OilChain (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oil-chain.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.oil-chain.com<\/a>) offers a closed but decentralized network, relying on full transparency. According to Claudio Sperindio, CEO of OilChain and Hult Executive MBA Class of 2018, the technology can be plugged straight into the field of production, while connected to the well by blockchain-connected probes, sharing live data on volumes and quality of extraction. Such information will be more representative of demand and made available to clients and third parties while integrated into distributor networks. Transparency will also help detect possible lost volumes from statements.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Health: Strong potential for a digital evolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 2018, the French government became actively involved with a major project of the Online Digital Records Library (or \u201cDossiers M\u00e9dicaux Partag\u00e9s\u201d, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dmp.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.dmp.fr<\/a>). Such storage of sensitive public health information\u00a0raises a number of questions around securely storing and controlling access in the long term. While this specific project is not currently blockchain-based, it has a similarly complex structure, enabling critical private data to be shared between trusted partners and offering major long-term opportunities. Connecting such data to third parties through a complex infrastructure could support new services within the health sector in the future. The anonymization of population data could be very useful for insurance records and analysis\ua7f7and for the two separate departments to communicate with each other.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Education: From storing grades to revolutionizing the curriculum<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Universities, business schools, training academies\ua7f7blockchain brings with it two major opportunities with the potential to revolutionize the whole education sector. First, offering an infallible central verification of all qualifications, from degrees to electives and course certificates, will appear in a short period of time. Employers will then be able to access tamper-proof records instead of accepting copies (certified or otherwise). This educational transparency will challenge the education system to grow, during a time when an ever-increasing number of players in the field are looking for international recognition. Also, while looking at courses separately, a new segmentation would help develop new syllabi and more precise Masters programs, more aligned with business. Today, diplomas of high-level education are mostly a consolidation of a variety of courses. Blockchain\u2019s traceability will be highly beneficial for elaborate new programs\u00a0and meet the evolving needs for further education, which is often a tactical move on one\u2019s career path. From here the logical next step for blockchain could well be education-on-demand.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>But first: Ask the right questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There is seemingly no limit to the cross-sector innovations of blockchain, and initiatives are still growing among tenacious startups on a blockchain mission. Nonetheless, it is important to consider two important aspects. First, the high number of patents in the sector: In 2017, more than half of the related patents submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization (\u201cWIPO\u201d) came from China, far ahead of the United States; the two countries leading the blockchain landscape. And lately the technology has come under fire for being too expensive; too energy-intensive for CPUs; too convoluted or even useless in some contexts\u2026 Is blockchain overhyped? A flash in the pan? After all, it is vital that companies focus on the right questions and strategies, rather than merely competing in the race towards blockchain or looking for PR opportunities: <em>Is blockchain technology necessary in this context? Is the ultimate goal operational excellence? What controls need to be implemented in the process? How is the relationship between network stakeholders defined? <\/em>Ten years after its conception, blockchain faces a first worldwide test of acceptance and maturity. Success is still expected and anticipated, but first, it is time to prove that the technology fits its mission, until the landscape evolves once again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/en\/brochure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download a brochure<\/a>\u00a0to find out about Hult&#8217;s business degree programs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make the most of what your career has to offer with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/en\/programs\/masters\/international-business\/\">Masters in International Business<\/a> from Hult.
