WORLD’S BIGGEST BLOCKCHAIN SUMMIT SERIES.
The African island nation of Mauritius has been bitten by the ‘Blockchain’ bug, and has set up a center for Blockchain Excellence in the country to study and research the endless possibilities behind the ledger based technology. The government has invited organisations and solution providers to come forward and utilize their Regulatory Sandbox Licence (RSL), and set up businesses within the nation.
World Blockchain Summit has accepted this invitation, and will help contribute to the island’s nascent blockchain ecosystem.
