In the frame of Berlin Blockchain Week, Centrifuge and Blue Yard are hosting an evening of cross-pollination and discussion around the impact of blockchain technology in supply chains. To what extent is blockchain innovation a driver for sustainability and inclusive financing in international trade? Blockchain not only allows more secure and transparent transactions, immutable traceability and reputation but also provides the infrastructure on top of which to build inclusive financial instruments. We have invited cutting-edge companies and institutions working on the frontiers of their fields: Provenance, Einhorn, GIZ (Blockchain Lab) and Token Economy, for an evening of vibrant discussion.

Supply chains are the networks that connect the objects and things that we purchase in our daily lives with their production origins. These supply chains are international, move between national legislations and involve a large number of companies, suppliers and sub-suppliers.

A growing number of people are interested in understanding exactly where the products that they buy come from, how they are produced and under which conditions. These processes have an impact on a social, environmental and political scale. At the same time, the impact of fluctuating cash flows and lack of access to capital can have dire consequences throughout the supply chain, especially in the bottom tiers, which is where supply chain financing offers key support (and is what excites us very much!).

We will be joined by:

Jessi Baker, CEO and founder of Provenance, a solution that provides accessible, trustworthy information about origin, journey and impact.

Elisa Naranjo, Head of sustainability at Einhorn, a Berlin based organic and sustainable condom manufacturer with a fully transparent supply chain, from Malaysia to Berlin.

Viktor Peter, Governance and Supply chain expert of the German Development Agency’s (GIZ) Blockchain Lab, promoting blockchain solutions in the Global South.

Stefano Bernardi, founder of Token Economy, an invaluable resource on the developments in the crypto space.

Maex Ament, CEO and Co-Founder of Centrifuge. Previously Co-founder of Taulia, the industry leader in the financial supply chain.

Join us for a vibrant evening of discussion, food and drinks!

At Centrifuge, we are building a decentralised OS for the financial supply chain, one that will allow businesses to interact with each other, while maintaining ownership of their data, reputation and transaction history. We are super excited about the creation of business NFT’s, thus leveraging blockchains’ technological sophistication to facilitate, among other things, deep tier financing to the bottom layers of the supply chain.
