On June 7, 2018, Utrecht welcomes the fifth edition of Blockchain Innovation Conference: BIC18, the biggest of its kind in Benelux! Rabobank hosts this year’s technology conference which has more than 400 participants from more than 100 companies from The Netherlands and beyond.

The BIC18 programme combines plenary sessions with keynote speakers, fireside chats and panels with six different tracks: business & finance, government services, the energy sector, identity, technological developments and ICOs.  BIC18 brings together speakers from home and abroad, including top thinkers such as, Vinay Gupta and Dave Birch. They outline how existing companies can use Blockchain to radically innovate.

Real world solutions

The theme of BIC18 conference this year is "Blockchain: From Proof or Concept to Real World Solutions". At Rabobank in Utrecht, decision makers from startups, corporate companies and government organisations meet to discuss the radical changes that Blockchain technology can make possible. One of the guests is Prince Constantijn van Oranje-Nassau, special envoy at StartupDelta and an advocate of the Netherlands as a forerunner in Blockchain technology.

According to organiser and conference director Vincent Everts: "The time has already passed for talking about and trying everything you can do with Blockchain. The average person knows Blockchain as the technology behind crypto coins, but there is so much more to it that just that. We can now show real solutions in the area of business, technology, government, energy, healthcare and identity at BIC18.
