Bonus Episode – UK’s All Party Parliamentary Group on Blockchain

This is a bonus podcast as Insureblocks was invited to attend the All Party Parliamentary Group on Blockchain at the House of Parliament on Monday the 18th of March. It was a fascinating session hosted by MP Damien Moore with opening remarks from MP and Minister for the Digital and Creative Industries Margot James and blockchain advocate MEP Emma McClarkin.

Presentations were made by IOTA on Global Trade, by Oracle on the food supply chain, Everledger on the diamond supply chain and finally Lloyd’s of London, on behalf of the London Market Target Operating Model (LMTOM) program –  Insurance, Claims and transaction settlement.

We interviewed a number of the delegates by asking them what they were hoping to achieve at this event and in their opinion how the UK government could support blockchain.

We would like to thank the following participants for participating to this “Pulse” episode, in order of appearance:

Daniel McCoy Andrade, head of business development at Photocert

Emma McClarkin, Member of the European Parliament, East Midlands

Jens Munch Lund-Nielsen, Head of Global Trade & Supply Chains at IOTA Foundation

Vikram Kimyani, Cloud solution architect at Oracle

Najib Rehman, Data Strategy Lead at FarmaTrust

Areiel Wolanow– Managing Director of Finserv Experts

Manreet Nijjar, Co- founder & CEO, Truu

That’s it, this concludes this episode. What kind of support do you think the UK government could give to blockchain? Feel free to add your comments on Insureblocks, Twitter or Linkedin.

Note: We would like to thank both Areiel Wolanow and the Big Innovation Centre for the kind invitation.
