As worldwide interest in blockchain technology continues to grow, the company will join forces with a global consortium dedicated to educating the market on best practices
ZUG, Switzerland, April 4, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Casper Labs, the enterprise blockchain software leader, today announced that it has joined the World Economic Forum’s Innovators community, the premier global network for leading startups. As a member of the Global Innovators community focused on Blockchain and Digital Assets initiatives with the World Economic Forum, Casper Labs continues to advance its efforts to educate the industry about blockchain’s existing and potential applications.
Companies are implementing blockchain at faster speeds than ever, but Casper Labs’ recent report on the state of enterprise blockchain adoption reveals that a significant knowledge gap still persists around the technology’s uses beyond cryptocurrency. Blockchain represents the first time that businesses and governments have ever been able to store their data in a secure and fully traceable manner. Joining the Innovator Communities enables Casper Labs to expand its market leadership role and drive industry conversations around challenges and opportunities for blockchain adoption.
“This is a critical time to educate organizations about the true scope of blockchain’s transformative business potential,” said Ross MacKay, Chief Operating Officer at Casper Labs. “Many leaders still view blockchain as a cryptocurrency-specific technology and are unaware of the increasingly diverse ways it is being implemented to solve business problems—many of which have nothing to do with digital assets. We are committed to working with the impressive group that WEF has come together to change the narrative around this important technology, while continuing to make it more widely available to people around the world.”
By joining the World Economic Forum Shaping the Future of Technology Governance: Blockchain and Digital Assets platform, Casper Labs will lead the effort to ensure fairness, interoperability, transparency and trust in the governance of distributed ledger technology.
“The World Economic Forum is pleased to have Casper Labs join our Global Innovators community,” said Verena Kuhn, Head of Innovator Communities at the World Economic Forum. “We are pleased to engage Casper Labs in our Blockchain and Digital Assets initiatives, where Casper Labs can provide important perspectives on the benefits and risks of technologies such as non-fungible tokens (NFT) and contribute to discussions on central bank digital currency (CBDC ). ) exploration.”
This announcement comes after several milestones for Casper Labs, including facilitating the largest blockchain distribution ever in connection with IPwe, a significant new collaboration with Google Cloud and a strategic partnership with Skybridge Capital and Al Maskari Holding which will expand Casper’s footprint in the Middle East region and beyond.
