Panel 1: Blockchain and the Future of Democracy

Upcoming elections, increasing AI tech, disinformation, censorship and increasing problems with data privacy and ownership are challenges we face today in our digital society. This panel will discuss these challenges for democratic societies and consider how new technologies in the Web3 space can contribute to solutions. 

 

What is the role of technology in preserving democracy? How can blockchain support the delicate work that activists do in politically sensitive countries? How can Blockchain be used to increase democratic participation of citizens? 

 

Panel moderated by Nathalie Boyke, Web3 Foundation. 

Meet our speakers.

Panel 2: Blockchain technology –
Curse or Solution for the Green Transition?

The debate surrounding blockchain technology and sustainability is a heated one. Our panellists will discuss blockchain in the context of climate, and explore the opportunities and challenges related to using the technology to achieve sustainable goals.

 

Is the negative image of the blockchain industry's environmental impact justified, or has it improved? Are there other use-cases where blockchain is driving positive impact and helping to tackle climate change? Should such cases be considered when assessing the overall environmental impact of crypto assets?

 

Panel moderated by Inbar Preiss, DL News.
