From June 5 to June 11, 2023, the 2nd edition of the Brussels Blockchain Week will take place. The organizers aim to highlight the importance of Web 3.0 and the need for European policymakers and institutions to engage in dialogue with innovators in the sector, and to adopt a clear vision of what “tokenization” is.
The week-long event will include training sessions, demonstrations, hackathons with the entire Belgian economic and digital ecosystem, and two days of conferences on June 7 and 8 at the business club TheMerode in Place Poelaert, Brussels, with more than 70 speakers and 1000 participants expected.?
Blockchain is a new technology that will disrupt all industries and especially the financial sector with crypto assets. Major investment funds and banks abroad are already adopting these digital assets and Europe cannot be left behind. If Brussels wants to maintain its role as the capital of Europe, it must be the driving force behind this, and this is the ambition of? Brussels Blockchain Week.?
? After last year’s success and the excitement generated by the event, our goal is to establish Brussels Blockchain Week in the long term. I firmly believe that alongside the centralized financial world – which has its advantages and must continue to exist – there must also be a decentralized financial world, based on crypto assets. It will make finance more accessible, transparent and democratic. Just as there is power and counter-power in politics, there must be power and counter-power in finance. Not to eliminate or crush existing power,? but to balance it, to cure it of its own ills. This is also the advocacy of this event, ? said? Christophe De Beukelaer, Brussels MP and co-founder of Brussels Blockchain Week.?
