The main goal of the Portuguese Blockchain Alliance (ALL2BC) is to develop an ecosystem of Portuguese enterprises, academia, and public organizations to provide the Portuguese economic system with the right knowledge tools on Blockchain.
Also, this Alliance aims to help all Portuguese economic players to be as ready as possible for the revolution that is to come with this new Blockchain paradigm. Alongside with these goals, we want to promote the development of national Blockchain-based solutions.
To promote Blockchain technology, the Alliance is launching several awareness initiatives, such as:
