Blockchain Technology in the Era of Digital Transformation
Blockchain technology enables the creation of a distributed environment in which transactions and data are stored in a digital ledger fully replicated between network nodes. It is relying on an environment not controlled by a central authority. Transactions are secure, ubiquitous, and trustworthy as they employ cryptographic principles. The technology is showing tremendous potential in several domains, promising to optimize, transform and disrupt established business processes, products and services. It is slowly integrating itself in domains such as logistics, healthcare, retail, education, etc.
The talk will be dedicated to revel potential applications of the technology, giving an insight into existing projects as well as presenting the challenges, main strengths, and opportunities of its application.

Tehnologija veriženja blokov v dobi digitalne preobrazbe
Tehnologija veriženja blokov omogoča ustvarjanje porazdeljenega okolja, v katerem se transakcije in podatki shranjujejo v digitalno knjigo, ki je v celoti replicirana med omrežnimi vozlišči. Zanaša se na okolje, ki ga ne nadzoruje centralna avtoriteta. Transakcije so varne, vseprisotne in zaupanja vredne, saj uporabljajo principe kriptografije. Tehnologija kaže ogromen potencial na več področjih, saj obljublja optimizacijo, preoblikovanje in ponastavitev ustaljenih poslovnih procesov, izdelkov in storitev. Prve aplikacije tehnologije je mogoče zaznati v logistiki, zdravstvu, trgovini, izobraževanju itd.
Predavanje bo namenjeno predstavitvi aplikacij potencialne uporabe tehnologije veriženja blokov, vpogledu v obstoječe projekte ter predstavitvi izzivov, glavnih prednosti in priložnosti njene uporabe.
