Bitland Global Visits Mauritius and Presses Forward Operations in Kenya and Botswana

12 September 2016 (Bloomington, Indiana): Bitland Global co-founder and chief security officer Chris Bates is traveling to Mauritius this week to meet with the nation’s Board of Investment in Ebene-Cybercity. On 15 September Mr. Bates will participate in the board-sponsored Blockchain Seminar and present the Bitland project and its Ghana pilot. On 16 September Mr. Bates will participate in a Working Session in Port Louis to discuss the practical applications of blockchain technology in government with the Mauritian Ministry of Technology, Communication, and Innovation, local entrepreneurs, and fintech start-ups. Afterwards a roundtable including the guest speakers will assemble with representatives from the Board of Investment for a special program on the National Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation (MBCtv) to air at 18:30.

Bitland is also excited to report that its new partnership with Brookside SMS, a local short messaging system based in Kenya, is already producing fruits! This alliance has accelerated the establishment of the first Bitland Kenya location to open in Nairobi. Furthermore, the Kenyan government has agreed to make recently digitized land titles available for Bitland to register on both the Bitland blockchain and the TAO Network blockchain—providing two extra layers of security for the preservation of these vital records. Recent developments in Kenya include the dissolving of their land administration due to corruption.

Bitland Global expands further, this time into southern Africa, with plans to open a land title registration hub in Botswana. Partnering with Botswana’s leading Bitcoin enthusiast and non-profit entrepreneur, Alakanani Itireleng, Bitland looks forward to cooperating with the Ministry of Lands and Housing to register existing digitized land titles on the secure blockchains of Bitland and the TAO Network.
