Lunchtime Talk: Blockchain 101

Join us at our Lunchtime Talk series that brings together the LEVEL3 and Unilever community to hear innovative startups share their ideas, insights and approaches. Bring your own lunch and learn with us and be inspired by our resident innovators.

Collective power. Voluntary participation. Open-source structure of a permanent memory. Organic growth. These are all terms that are frequently associated with blockchain. But what exactly is blockchain, and how does it affect the world's digital record-keeping?

Blockchain has been predicted to revolutionise every institution in our world and radically change the way we carry out our daily activities; from data distribution to the unanimous approval of new information to existing systems.

DEX's Chirdeep Chhabra speaks about this piece of breakthrough technology, it's potential to revolutionise businesses from America to Abu Dhabi, and the reasons why it remains such a game-changing concept.

The session will cover these key areas:

• Blockchain: What is it?

• Why is Blockchain important?

• The applications and evolution of computing in blockchain
