PURPOSE OF THIS EVENT
Blockchain is going to radically change the way we make business. One of the first sectors to undergo such changes is banking and insurance. It also has a deep impact on the venture capital industry, how funds are raised and how securities are managed and traded.
Of particular interest for high net worth individuals and family offices is that it allows to directly and earlier engage in the asset class of Private Equity and Venture Capital, a class that has to date been mainly covered through investment into funds. Now, with new blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies available, risks can be better diversified and assets can be easier liquidated upon investors request. This opens private investors and family investors the possibility to directly invest into this asset class by creating a new portfolio.
The purpose of this event is to bring valuable insights to investors regarding the state of Blockchain and to present interesting companies that show new ways of making business based on blockchain. The event presents investment opportunities without obligation and pressure to invest in any of them.
As a summary, the event offers the investor to deepen his understanding of blockchain and how it is applied and most importantly to stay in the loop of a new technology which is advancing in an incredible speed, faster than then Internet ever before. The hype of phantasy ICO’s with inexperienced founders having an idea on paper is definitely over. Now we are quickly progressing to sustainability.
