Up until a few years ago, blockchain was considered as a technology experiment - and now it is an actual agent of change. More and more companies are implementing and testing blockchain in use. Most decision-makers believe that their own company will lose a competitive advantage if distributed ledger technology (DLT) does not find its way into use. Hamburg focuses on this technology of the future - and is on its way to becoming a European DLT hotspot.
As part of the city's Regional Innovation Strategy, a large number of blockchain projects are already being implemented in Hamburg and the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, in sectors such as energy, logistics and industry.
