Is your company currently working on Blockchain?

If so, there are multiple opportunities for subsidies and innovation financing. Ethereum is an example of a platform where blockchain technology can be used for applications.

As well as direct transactions, this infrastructure also comprises conditional actions that are only initiated, provided that certain conditions in a “Smart Contract” are met.
