Navigating
the Blockchain
Revolution
Blockchain is the foundation for the second era of the internet – an internet of value, where anything of value, including money, our identities, cultural assets like music, and even a vote can be stored, managed, transacted, and moved in a secure, private way. Blockchain is poised to transform every industry and managerial function —redefining the way we make transactions, share ideas, and manage workflow.
The Blockchain Research Institute (BRI) is an independent, global think-tank, co-founded by Don and Alex Tapscott. We bring together the world’s top global researchers to undertake ground-breaking research on blockchain technology.
Funded by a membership consisting of international corporations and government agencies, our research program is founded on 100+ projects documenting the strategic implications of blockchain on business, government and society. Our new program, BRI 2020, introduces new deliverables in addition to our research, designed to help our members not just navigate the blockchain revolution, but lead it.
