Smart Dubai revealed that the workshops were held to assess a selection of blockchain applications in a cross-section of locations, with the sessions allowing participants to evaluate the program thus far. The discussions at the workshops centred on how you can address the obstacles being run into from the blockchain applications, the best ways to improve their implementation and how to ideal learn from the overall Dubai blockchain experience.

"Hosting the demonstration days was a vital workout for us, as Smart Dubai and our companions have made significant progression in applying blockchain modern technology throughout Dubai, specifically in the fields of education, health, transportation, tourism, energy, property and the economy. Over 2017, government entities have worked on recognizing the best feasible blockchain use situations, which are currently in the pilot or online production stage," said H.E. Dr Aisha Bint Butti Bin Bishr, Director General, Smart Dubai.

SDO's workshops formed part of the city's Blockchain Strategy, which focuses on three pillars; initially, raising government performance by moving 100% of appropriate government deals to blockchain; second, developing a blockchain industry and ecological community, and third, ending up being a global leader in the innovation of blockchain technology.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, to change Dubai right into a fully-fledged smart city and a leader in the smart tech market.
