NGI Forum Workshop: Software ecosystems for trust management

Trust is a key property specific to human-to-human interactions. As software becomes ubiquitous and pervasive, it provides an interface between the inherently untrusted physical and virtual world (e.g. sensors, data, algorithms), on one side, and the trusted world of blockchains, where everything happens based on a wide consensus. 

ONTOCHAIN and TruBlo are two NGI projects where the focus is to advance the State-of-the-Art. Both projects have funds to support ideas from European researchers, developers and teams from startups and SMEs and build software ecosystems for trust management in different business scenarios. 

For the NGI Forum 2021 the two projects have joined forces. On May 18th, 15:00 CET, they will present a fast-paced, two-hour session delivering short, to-the-point presentations.
