Blockchain.NRW helps the business world, from logistics to legal, break free from traditional and paper-based processes and thereby become safer, smarter and more profitable, enabling a new generation of collaboration, connectivity and innovation.

But what exactly is a “blockchain”?

A blockchain, also called a distributed ledger, is a decentralized database.
As a building block for digital business models, it allows secure, trust-based and efficient applications through anti-counterfeit protection and traceability of data and processes. We are convinced that a blockchain-based future is more sustainable, smarter and safer.
That's why we help you to get the best possible information about blockchain technologies and to network with experts and to realize these future-changing products and services.
