The effects of blockchain technology on social and environmental scenarios are nothing short of revolutionary. This emerging tech has already proven itself a game changer, allowing people to access and transfer data in an easy and eco-friendly way. The Social Impact Award shines the spotlight on some amazing projects forging a new path in problem solving.
A vast number of AI-technology-based products have been released over the recent years. Through this award we highlight the ways in which AI has brought about drastic changes to our society – follow their story as they develop and improve the technology impacting this fast-changing arena.
With each passing day we realise that the strength powering blockchain is the community behind it.
The tighter our bonds, the stronger blockchain becomes. Mass adoption projects play an important role in the global infrastructure, which is why the Mass Adoption Project of the Year 2019 will reward projects working on implementing blockchain technologies and consequentially fostering adoption and strengthening the community at large.
The blockchain industry has both matured and developed, having taken a huge leap from a tentative space to a fully-fledged industry. The huge potential to completely reshape the way businesses transact in the global economy has been a game changer. As we emerge from a frosty crypto winter, the warm Mediterranean shores offer a haven for successful startups moving towards the digitizing of asset transfers and data reconciliation at headlong speed.
Through the development of blockchain technology, tokenization is incredibly effective as a means of internal and online protection. Asset tokenization offers a way to protect sensitive data and to reduce the risk of its loss.
This award is earmarked for projects that have managed to effectively and efficiently combine tokenization and cryptography.
There are many paths towards a sustainable future with blockchain technology, but DAOs, while
still in the ‘work in progress stage’ have the potential to be game changers. From intellectual property to actual government, DAOs give back sovereign power to the people by allowing for a true democracy – enhancing a broken social layer, engendering business collaborations, and creating accountability.
The strong bonds that are achieved through community are vital in this new digital era, so what better than an award honouring the myriad of ways art can bring together different cultures and mindsets through technology? We’re bringing you some amazing art projects which apply the innovation behind Artificial Intelligence, and blockchain to the forefront of this industry, showcasing the creative thought process behind them and highlighting the phenomenal results being delivered. From transparency of price to ownership rights, the merging of art and tech has produced novel industries such as digital art and digital collectibles.
Through the DeFi services offered by various products and platforms and by using P2P technology for direct connection and verification of the economy participants, decentralised finance has made a buzz in the industry over the past month. The DeFi award 2019 will go to the project that contributes the most to simplifying the money sending process.
Helping to overcome the traditional payments barriers, such as high fees and transaction speed, crypto payment services are shaking the market by supplying the best in breed solutions and pushing mass adoption to another level together with helping to bank the unbanked. Malta AIBC summit would love to honour the best crypto payment platform of the year 2019!
The convergence of technologies has helped produce innovative, industry-ready solutions. The broadness of technologies such as blockchain and A.I. have benefited enormously from the smart applications of IoT, capitalising on the rich gold mines of data the digital era has produced and creating intriguing problem solving ideas. IoT itself is also in debt to the benefits offered by block tech, such as long-term security solutions for smart devices. In light of this we recognise those taking bold steps towards a more united and connected future.
The Malta AIBC Summit is excited to open its doors to the tech investors actively involved in changing the face of the industry. We’re excited to play our part in bringing established industry veterans and influential investors from top international funds together and to honour the best Investors Club of the year 2019!
