WEF Davos Blockchain and Crypto Content

It’s time for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland under the theme of Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World. The program is organized under the following seven topics: – How to Save the Planet – Society & Future of Work – Tech for Good – Fairer Economies – Better Business – Healthy Futures – Beyond Geopolitics

While the descriptions of individual panels do not necessarily highlight Blockchain Economy or CryptoAssets topics, it’s clear that they will contribute to many of the individual themes: 1. Trust and Transparency (Global Value Chains, Supply Chains, Deepfakes, Cybersecurity…) 2. The Digital Economy (Token Economy, CBDC, Stablecoins, Financial Markets, Central Banks, Digital Economy Taxation) 3. Sustainability and Climate Change (not specifically super blockchain-y in the descriptions, but I would expect that trust and transparency related to sustainability would link back to blockchain solutions)

Here’s a selection of the panels that you can watch, either live-streamed or later, from the WEF website:
