As an active user of Design Thinking techniques, as well as an advisor in re-designing businesses and administrations in order to face this new chellenging scenario, during the first day of this cycle (June 29th) he showed us the applications and potential benefits of this disruptive technology, and othe application domains, in which, Néstor Álvarez Díaz, from ULL’s Cryptology Group contributed to the event with a presentation titled “Using Blockchain For Logictics Management”.
On June 30th in the morning, we opened with a wrap up of all the presentations from the day before, also with a brainstorming with potential BLOCKCHAIN applications to the specific context of Canary Island, and inparticular, to Tenerife.
