An Erasmus+ initiative to help Startups and SMEs exploit the benefits of Blockchain Technology

Project Backround

While the number of Start-Ups and the young people working at them is increasing in Europe, these companies’ survival rate is lower than 50% [2018]. Beyond Start-ups the bigger driving force in EU economy, SMEs, also confront several problems in multiple areas like: transactions, data storage, cash flow, security, protection of IP and in entering trade markets. These problems are affecting their survival as well. Blockchain technology can offer a solution to these challenges providing, among others, cheaper data storage, improvement of privacy & security and profitable management of IP.
