acatech HORIZONTE Blockchain

Blockchain has the potential to fundamentally transform our financial systems, energy markets and public administration. It is one of the most popular themes at IT conferences, while the Federal Government is also currently formulating a blockchain strategy for Germany.

However, the public and policy debate on blockchain technology is still in its infancy.
That is why we have chosen blockchain as the subject of the first publication in the acatech HORIZONS series, in which the Academy explores important technology fields that are already looming large on the horizon, but are still affected by uncertainty concerning their potential impacts.

acatech HORIZONS Blockchain is the first publication in the series and highlights the technological challenges that still need to be overcome before blockchain technology can be widely used.
