Dear Members and Friends of SwissCham,

SwissCham is happy to support BritCham and is cordially inviting you to attend the event “Blockchain – Challenges & Opportunities in today’s business”.

The British Chamber Shanghai’s Women in Business Focus Group invites members who are responsible for company strategy and innovation to this presentation, where two blockchain experts from PwC will tell you more about blockchain and its applications in non-financial areas.

Many of us have heard of blockchain and the definitions are becoming more digestible in this tech-centered world – but the sectors that blockchain impacts are no longer limited to solely financial services. At this event, Chun Yin Cheung and Michael Xia will provide an overview of blockchain technology and its development in recent years. By sharing case studies in several non-financial industries, such as retail & consumer, food, and logistics, the two speakers will shed light on the opportunities and challenges of applying blockchain in a business environment.

Best regards,

Your SwissCham Team
