The use case of trusted credentials is showing up across industries–education, energy & utilities, financial services, government. Blockchain-based systems can be used for verifying certificates, licenses, university degrees, & professional skills. For example, utility companies, in partnership with compliance organizations can implement a blockchain-based credentials system for technicians who go to people’s homes, where physical licenses are replaced by digital ones that can be activated and deactivated by those authorized, and seen, tracked and trusted by all ecosystem participants. In a similar fashion, educational institutions can digitize and secure degrees, qualifications & achievements using blockchain technology. This panel will discuss what has already been implemented, what projects are moving into production, as well as which organizations are driving this and why.
