DECHEMA Autumn Special – The Blockchain Forge
Strike while the iron is hot
Blockchain is a hot topic in many sectors, but is it also relevant for the process industry? How can it be applied and what are its “pros” and ”cons”? And what is a blockchain anyway?
Hammer it out
In our DECHEMA Autumn Special you will find out what distinguishes a blockchain from a conventional database and what the advantages and disadvantages are. Blockchain applications in the process industry may range from production, logistics, and quality management to finance, controlling, and beyond. If you are currently evaluating whether a blockchain is the right solution for your application, reports on use cases may help you.
Connect the links into a chain
Evonik, Covestro, and Novartis will share their experience in identifying possible use cases and how to implement a blockchain project. Developers and providers of blockchain solutions will give insights into technical implementations of blockchains which have already been executed within the chemical sector.
Avoiding weak links
For business applications, reliability, security, and trust are important aspects. Let’s discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the technology with blockchain experts who have a wide range of cross-industry experience.

Blockchain technology offers powerful and multidimensional stacks that can help to raise the efficiency, security and the level of automationfor industrial processes. On top of that, the settlement and incentivization options of tokenization enables new business opportunities. But in order to plan and govern this new infrastructure of tomorrow, we need to fully understand the dependencies and also how to securely roll out blockchain technology end-to-end. Sebastian Becker |

A recently published worldwide IBM study describes that 71% of all consumers confirm that it is important to them to know the origin of the goods they are buying and that they are willing to pay (a little) more with the brands that create this transparency. IBM has built blockchain based solutions that deliver this transparency in a secure and trustful way. Christian Schultze-Wolters |
