Title: Blockchain, its Applications: the Past, the Present and the Future Possibilities and Challenges for Governments

Olivier Rikken – Ledger Leopold

Bio: Olivier Rikken MSc MBA is an often asked  keynote speaker on blockchain, Smart Contracts and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Throughout his career he worked in various industries, always in roles responsible for both business strategy and reorganization/process improvement on the one hand and IT development on the other. He advises various companies and blockchain start-ups and is very actively involved in the Dutch Blockchain Coalition, the ISO world standardization group on blockchain, is affiliated to Delft University of Technology where he researches the Governance of DAOs and teaches at various universities worldwide as (guest) lecturer. With Ledger Leopard, he builds and implements various blockchain solutions in industries and governments. Besides that, he is Board Member of the 2token foundation, researching the regulatory side and possibilities and challenges of tokenization. Finally he chairs the EuroStableCoin workgroup in the Netherlands.

Abstract: Blockchain, although often predominately associated with cryptocurrencies, can be seen as a core technology that entails many more application possibilities. Smart Contract Applications, Evidence and Provenance Uses and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations can offer many opportunities for both Industry as well as Governments, but (large scale) implementations also run into various challenges. During this keynote, Olivier Rikken will go over the core technology, its possible applications and various examples of implementations and challenges faced during implementation and challenges for future growth and applications in the Government Sector.

Dr. Dan Bogdanov

Title: Data protection is innocent! Why can’t we really have data for our AI?

Dan Bogdanov, PhD – Chief Scientific Officer at Cybernetica

Bio: Dr. Dan Bogdanov met his first significant privacy challenges while working with the data collection systems of the Estonian Genome Foundation. This pain inspired him to start researching cryptographic solutions for privacy problems. He is the inventor of Sharemind, a secure multi-party computation system for collecting, sharing and processing private data. Sharemind is a new kind of computer that analyses digital data without seeing the individual values. This achieves beyond-the-state-of-the-art data protection, as has been demonstrated in various applications processing tax, education, genomic and financial data. He has a  deep and practical experience in understanding the power of data along with the importance of individual and corporate privacy, governmental data security and integrity. He is now working on digital identities as the Chief Scientific Officer at Cybernetica.

Abstract: Data protection regulation often gets blamed for stifling innovation. This is a bit unfair, as even when we manage to solve the protection of actual data with, e.g., privacy enhancing technologies, other things can still prevent our cool AI application from happening. Is the data really there? Who should cover the cost of bringing it into use? Or, most importantly, should we even be building this application? I’ll illustrate these topics with three stories of intriguing government data analysis projects where the privacy problems were solved, but other problems turned out to be the blockers.
