Dubai: Etisalat Academy is set to organise a seminar and workshop on the latest “Blockchain” technology under the theme “Blockchain: The Next Disruptive Technology” from March 21-23 at its premises in Dubai.

Blockchain is a technology that allows public and private organisations to make and verify transactions on a network instantaneously without a central authority. More than 1.4 billion dollars has been invested in developing blockchain in 2016.

Keeping in line with the academy’s overall objective to provide business and telecom training, this educational event will highlight the current industry and government trends in blockchain technology. Experts at the event will also focus on importance of this technology in increasing efficiency within an organisation.

The two day workshop will be followed by a one-day seminar on 23 March, 2017. Both events target participants from both government and business sectors aiming to build knowledge and raise awareness of blockchain’s impact as a future disruptive technology on business and government services.
