Come listen to what DBI’s Antonio Grasso, Fuzamei’s Cao Jing, Huawei’s William Genovese and Ziggurat’s Mark Xuan think about the rising technology.
WIM Salon is a technology and innovation-focused event organized by EqualOcean.
Blockchain has been in the limelight for a while. The concept, which is yet to enter the stage of widespread application, has taken its rightful place among the key buzzwords in global tech circles.
Since 2008, when ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ introduced blockchain as the technology underpinning cryptocurrency Bitcoin, China has grown into one of the leading hubs where multiple enterprises are involved in the race for future game-changing business solutions. With its continuous interplay between the central government, enormous digital corporations and the offspring of the local burgeoning startup scene, the country is now presenting, perhaps, the most dynamic blockchain ecosystem in the world.
In March, EqualOcean published the ‘Blockchain, China’s Story’ research report where we dug into the domain, dissecting the leading players’ strategies and determining the most promising application scenarios that are likely to play out in the near future.
This time, we will gather four eminent industry insiders to discuss this and related topics. Here are the speakers (the list is presented in alphabetical order by company name):
Antonio Grasso, Digital Business Innovation Srl, founder and CEO
With over 35 years of IT project experience, Antonio is a well-known influencer in the digital space. Collaborating with global technology behemoths, including Atos, Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei, IBM, Intel and Siemens, to name a few, he is also a mentor to numerous startups worldwide. Based in Naples, Italy, Mr. Grasso’s company Digital Business Innovation Srl is devoted to bringing digital transformation to small and mid-sized enterprises.
