SEEBLOCKS.eu is a Digital Europe Programme project with the mission of delivering targeted, democratic, and industry-driven support to European interests in standardisation within the Blockchain/DLT domain.

Playing a leading role in the initiative is Blockchain Ireland’s Fiona Delaney, working group lead for Start-ups and Web3, CEO of Origin Chain Networks, and strategic lead at SEEBLOCKS.eu.
On Tuesday 23 January, from 08:30, Fiona will give an introduction and progress report on the work of this 24-month programme, detailing how to get involved.
Introduced and moderated by Paul Hearns, Fiona will expand the conversation with Matthew Nelson, CEO of Arivu Labs, to discuss the impact and benefits of standards development and implementation for business, opening up to questions from the audience.
