Ideaology founder and CEO, Khaled Alkalbani, speaks at the European Blockchain Convention

The biggest European blockchain business forum, the European Blockchain Convention — EBC, was held on 21st and 22nd September. It took place in the virtual space this year, because of the dangers of the pandemic.

One of the 25 panels held at the convention was The Use of Digital Assets in Blockchain Ecosystems, and Ideaology founder and CEO, Khaled Alkalbani, was one of the panel speakers. The main theme of the talk was the new kind of ecosystem made possible through blockchain technology.

Asked to provide some light on how to define an ecosystem in today’s fast moving society, Khaled answered:
''It’s probably a much more loose understanding of the word ecosystem, in the sense that all the necessary elements of the ecosystem no longer need to be physically in the same place.

The digital revolution has provided us with opportunities for remote work, online markets, and so on. It has normalized communication through video calls, chats and so on, as even this Convention is taking place virtually, because of the pandemic. In this situation, we can expect such trends to continue even after the immediate danger of the virus has passed, thus, we need to redefine the term ecosystem.''

Of note is to mention the panel prior to this one — Blockchain and the Future of Digital Assets, during which the speakers agreed that one of the most important aspects is the ‘’collaborative nature of the technology’’, as Sandra Ro (Global Blockchain Business Council) highlighted.

The convention was a success, nonetheless, as over 1500 participants followed the panels live, from their homes and offices. Virtual meetings were set up and connections made through channels which we have already grown used to — online video calls, group or individual chat — and we can only assume these will become standard ways of interaction in the business world in the near future.

With the panel and the convention concluded, Khaled and the Ideaology team are gearing up for the next milestones. The main one is the start of the ICO in October, with the private sale for early investors.
With these investments secured, the next step is further expanding the team and the launch of the Beta version of the platform.
