Blockchain for manufacturing - from insight to plan

Sirris will provide technological and business guidance on the blockchain technology for the manufacturing industry through several master class sessions and individual coaching.

In two afternoon seminars, Sirris experts will provide insights into the state of affairs of blockchain for the manufacturing industry. The two collective sessions, one on business cases in industry and one on technology and architecture, are followed by two individual (per company) workshops. These will provide participants the opportunity to discuss their specific innovation project and get detailed feedback and recommendations from two senior Sirris experts. The final result is a plan towards the adoption of this promising technology in your company.
