The Partnership launched today enables Member States to work together with the European Commission to turn the enormous potential of blockchain technology into better services for citizens.”
The list of the 22 countries that are part of this Declaration includes: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and UK.
The European Commission has also invited other EU members to join the blockchain partnership that hasn’t signed yet.
In February, the European Commission invested about 80 million euro in the blockchain industry with the launch of EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum and now plans to pour in another 300 million euros over the next few years to study blockchain and for its advancement.
EU has already started funding the project which includes DECODE that basically provides tools to allow users to control their personal data by either keeping it private or sharing with others. Another project is MHDMD, which is the blockchain for ehealth.
