"Blockchain", "cryptocurrency", "peer-to-peer network" scary words?

The digital revolution is making headway. With blockchains and cryptocurrencies, the whole world of trust in institutions is being turned upside down. We are witnessing the emergence of a new form of finance, as well as new forms of organization for businesses, associations and citizens. Imagine a world built in the digital environment, where financial and commercial transactions can be carried out without the need for intermediaries, thanks to the creation of a peer-to-peer network. 

If the words blockchain, cryptocurrency or peer-to-peer network frighten you, come and tame them by listening to the players in these fields in the Canton of Neuchâtel, around a round table moderated by Delphine Seitiée, general secretary of alp ict: 

A pioneer of cryptocurrencies in French-speaking Switzerland, Alexis Roussel will share his experience of how the Canton of Neuchâtel has positioned itself in the field of blockchain and its applications.
