Since its foundation at the beginning of 2018, the AUSTRIAPRO Blockchain Working Group (Arbeitskreis Blockchain – WKO.at) has been dealing with applications, benefits and risks of Blockchain technology in various business sectors. In a dedicated Blockchain Testlab, potential business cases are tested in a secure environment. In the context of a double branding, DIO cooperates with the AUSTRIAPRO Blockchain working group and analyzes the following general questions or clarifies the following topics in more detail:

• Which forms of Blockchain exist, and when should which form be used for a company?
• Which data can be sensibly written to the Blockchain (and which not)?
• Which partners do I need to prepare the infrastructure or use the data?
• Provision of a simple and secure “Austrian Blockchain infrastructure”
• Identification of different business cases for companies or industries
• Model representation of the integration of a Blockchain into the company (data models, process models, business models…)
• Further development of functionalities in the Blockchain Testlab
• Cooperation with the Austrian Blockchain Center (ABC), with implementation of joint projects
• Model implementation in the transport sector (Blockchain-based freight documents).

Meeting dates will be announced in a timely manner on the WKO website under events.
