Toronto, CANADA; January 29, 2021 – The Blockchain Research Institute ™ (BRI) is excited to welcome Blockchain Technology Partners (BTP) as our latest Member. As a Member of the BRI, BTP receives access to our research library of 100+ projects and joins a global community of blockchain innovators, experts, builders, and thought leaders.
“Blockchain is a foundational technology and from the outset our goal has been to accelerate its adoption by not only providing the tools necessary to ensure it is production ready but by enabling companies to build on it,” said Duncan Johnston-Watt, BTP Co-founder and CEO. “To this end we’ve partnered with Digital Asset to help companies lock down their business logic using DAML smart contracts and, most recently, with Taekion to ensure that companies can lock down their critical data using Taekion’s blockchain-based file system.”
“In the second era of the digital age, enterprises are recognizing the promise of blockchain technology and are moving towards adoption.” said Don Tapscott, BRI Co-founder and Executive Chairman. “At the Blockchain Research Institute ™, we are pleased to work with organizations like Blockchain Technology Partners who are focused on simplifying enterprise adoption of blockchain technology.”
“Joining the BRI is key to getting our message across to a wider audience that blockchain is foundational and that there is an emerging stack that needs to be better understood”, added Paul Forrest, BTP Non-executive Chairman. “Don Tapscott and the BRI are a powerful voice articulating not just why blockchain should be adopted strategically but how to do so to ensure that you derive tangible real world benefits from your investment in it.”
