105 organizations representing the full distributed ledger technology (DLT) ecosystem today announced their commitment to a new platform, the International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA). Launched with a ceremonial digital signing at the European Commission headquarters, International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) will promote the use of blockchain technology by developing a predictable, transparent, and trust-based global framework.
Hosted at the European Commision Headquarters, the signing ceremony included a keynote speech from the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, Mariya Gabriel, and remarks from Director-General, Roberto Viola. Following this, the signatures of the International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) members were hashed on several distributed ledgers to formally launch the organization. “Since we view Blockchain as an important enabler of the Circular Economy and the Sustainable Development Goals, iPoint is very excited to be a founding member of International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) “, Joerg Walden, CEO of iPoint and co-founder of Blockchain startup CircularTree, states. “Blockchain has the potential to make products, processes, and services more trusted, transparent, and traceable and thereby stimulate new business models which can contribute to sustainable economic growth,” he adds.
“We are thrilled to see that over 100 companies and organizations have partnered together to help develop the framework for distributed ledger technologies in Europe. It clearly signifies that blockchain technology will be a driving force for our economy in the coming years, and through International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) we will be able to foster an environment that encourages the application of the technology across the EU member states.” Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society.
This initiative also has the strong support from leading international organizations. The European Commission, the World Bank, the OECD, the UN World Food Program, UNFCCC, UNICEF, the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the OECD have joined INATBA’s Governmental Advisory Board. All EU Member States and the European Blockchain Partnership are expected to join as governmental advisors.
