Building Blockchain Project in SMEs
How to implement our idea on the blockchain?
In our course, we explain how to go from an idea to a solution using blockchain-based technologies. Through examples, we demonstrate what makes a blockchain-based project unique and how blockchain can aid in the realization of business ideas. By examining business use cases and blockchain solution patterns, we illustrate the benefits of blockchain, whether it's for distributed data storage, multi-partner collaboration, integrating existing systems, or reimagining and digitizing processes.
We support the practical application of theoretical knowledge by analyzing and brainstorming participants' submitted ideas, leading to a high-level project plan.
The course is offered by BME, KIFÜ, and EIT Digital as part of the SME4DD EU project. Additional blockchain courses are also available during the project, focusing on project management, IT design and development, and system engineering perspectives.
