Workshop on “Synergies for the future: The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure and the European Digital Innovation Hubs”

GRNET and the European Digital Innovation Hub for Digital Governance GR digiGOV-innoHUB are organizing on March 10, 2023, a workshop on “Synergies for the future: The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure and the European Digital Innovation Hubs” at Th.E.A. (the Athens Startup Business Incubator) premises. The event will focus on the opportunities for blockchain technologies exploitation in the Greek Public Administration and the role that the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) can play in the context of the European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs-European Digital Innovation Hubs Network), member of which is the GR digiGOV-innoHUB.

The workshop is addressed to:

  • members of the Greek blockchain community who are interested in developing applications on the European EBSI infrastructure
  • business executives, agencies and services interested in the design and creation of services for citizens and businesses, with a European dimension,  with blockchain technologies
  • academic and research institutions in science and technology.

EBSI and existing use cases of blockchain technologies, as well as the upcoming Large Scale Pilots launched with the support of the European Union will be presented. Additionally, participants will gain insight into Europe’s Digital Decade and the objectives for Europe’s digital transformation by 2023, the Public Administration digital maturity assessment plan & the technological challenges that have been developed in the context of the GR digiGOV-innoHUB hub. In order to address these challenges, the Hub will act as an environment for experimentation and testing in selected pilot projects and advanced technologies (AI, ML, IoT, 5G, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, Cloud & HPC). At the same time, the HUB invests in developing partnerships with the public and private sectors, the academic and research community, Digital Innovation and Blockchain Hubs, with the aim of rapidly developing efficient and sustainable digital solutions that will contribute to the evolution of the Public sector into an investor and buyer of innovative solutions.

The event is supported by the European project ELEDGER (Hellenic Distributed Ledger Technology Infrastructure) and the European Digital Innovation Hub for Digital Governance GR digiGOV-innoHUB.
