22 European Countries join Blockchain Partnership

The European Commission held its Digital Day 2018 in Brussels. The conference was successful because it led to the signing of a Declaration whose main objective is to create a European Blockchain Partnership.

The EC vice president called upon Europe to take the leadership role in digital currencies by investing in Blockchain innovation and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

According to the press release, the partnership will provide a platform for cooperation amongst Member States to exchange experience and expertise in as far as technical and regulatory fields are concerned. The member states will also use this platform to prepare for ‘the launch of EU-wide [Blockchain] applications across the Digital Single Market for the benefit of the public and private sectors’.
