Blockchain Lab - Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Innovative Business and Process Models

Blockchain is considered to be enabling technology that is going beyond the Bitcoin crypto currency. It replaces centralised transaction management by the distribution of transactions across a network of nodes with different methods for consensus finding. This major change of governance may change sectors of our societies far beyond digital currencies. Fraunhofer FIT established a Blockchain Lab in 2016 in order to explore its impact. It will serve as an experience lab for technical components, implementation platforms, application prototypes and blueprints for novel governance, process, and business models.
