Tokenisation in the Construction Sector

A wide ranging forum to discuss ideas to tokenise any business in the global construction sector.
There will be short presentations from a number of speakers who are exploring the use of blockchain in construction.

SPEAKERS ALREADY CONFIRMED

Tim Rook
Tim works for IBM as a blockchain specialist in the industrial, construction and engineering sector. He has extensive construction sector experience in Design, renewables and working closely with regulators. Recent innovation experience includes building the UK’s largest combined solar thermal & heat pump plant and developing a blockchain based permit system for safe systems of work.

He will be looking beyond: process efficiency driven by “standard blockchain”, to what must incumbents do to thrive in this new era of tokenisation
