BSV’s Blockchain for Government Initiative Visits Republic of the Sudan
The BSV blockchain ecosystem’s Blockchain for Government Initiative recently completed a historic week-long official visit to Khartoum, Republic of the Sudan, at the invitation of and under the patronage of the Ministry of Telecommunication and Digital Transformation. The visit centred around Sudan’s first-ever Blockchain Summit & Workshop, a two-day event held April 8-9 and led by the BSV ecosystem. The conference and surrounding meetings explored how blockchain technology can advance digital transformation as the country rebuilds and re-emerges after 30 years of isolation from much of the world.
BSV’s Blockchain for Government Initiative is led by Bitcoin Association, the Switzerland-based non-profit organization that works to advance use of the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain, protocol and distributed data network. The initiative works with government bodies, NGOs and public sector agencies to advance large-scale implementation of blockchain technology for the benefit of citizens, including through delivery of e-government services, tools for greater financial inclusion and improved transparency, as well as applications that foster public good for municipalities and entire countries.
