Arguably one of the best blockchain events of 2018 was HealthcareUnblocked. It's back for 2019!

Not yet another blockchain event in which big egos like to hear the sound of their own voice (Yes, there are way too many of them) but an event in which real world applications of blockchain...

UK Parliament looks at Ten examples of how Blockchain technology can help the economy- The All Party Parliamentary Group on Blockchain (APPG Blockchain) that has been running workshops since January 2018 and has helped increase the awareness with MPs about the challenges and opportunities that Blockchain technology offers. The APPG Blockchain events, coordinated by the Big Innovation Centre has led this week to a show case in Parliament for ten companies to illustrate how Blockchain technology could impact and in some cases is already changing the way that business is carried out. Ten companies explained how they were using Blockchain technology to help improve transparency and traceability, to reduce transaction costs while reducing the cost of transferring money in the UK or overseas.
The UK is the only Western country to meet the United nations target as it donates $13.9billion i.e. 0.7% of the UK GPDand it has been calculated that it costs £13million in foreign exchange and banking costs to send this aid. The cost could be cut significantly using Blockchain, in the same way the technology can be used to help in the insurance, healthcare, energy, education and finance sectors to name just a few.
Blockchain technology and Digital Assets are not only able to help in the commercial world, but they can have a big social impact on society. In a recent article Breakermag looked at how 73 Blockchain initiativesare having a positive impact for social good. AS the report stated “… in the food and agriculture sector small farmers get left out of the market, food waste abounds, and sometimes we get poisoned by lettuce. The Blockchain solution is - Supply chain tracking and according to the Stanford Graduate School of Business report, there are many organisations in Europe, Australia, and U.S. aiming to help people in places like sub-Saharan Africa.”
It is encouraging that the UK government is getting exposure to businesses that are engaged and using Blockchain technology as it cannot afford to let the UK get left behind. In a recent survey the UK was second only to the US, as of the 5,700 jobs being globally advertised when you looked for vacancies with the word Blockchain in the job description - the UK had 1,015 nearly 20% positions available.
