Masterclass: 4IR: Blockchain, Fintech, AI by Dinis Guarda

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres, collectively referred to as cyber-physical systems. Over the past decade, a number of important technologies such as AI, Blockchain, Fintech, IoT evolved so quickly that they became the core drivers around which we govern our lives. How are the 4IR and its technologies impacting businesses and governments, and how should these prepare for its inherent opportunities but also challenges? And how to apply these new emergent technologies in your project/business/organization in a simple and effective way?

Dinis Guarda, founder of openbusinesscouncil.org citiesabc.com and leading personality on 4IR, AI, blockchain and smart cities, the curator of the event says: “With businesses and startups facing uncertain times, a recession, drop in sales, and limited funding, the openbusinesscouncil summit will address today’s most pressing challenges with digital transformation solutions and what’s next for industries, cities, governments and businesses.”

Masterclass: Cryptocurrencies, DeFi - Trading & Investment - by Babak Behboudi

One area in the cryptocurrency market attracting huge attention is DeFi or Decentralized finance. This refers to an experimental form of finance that does not rely on central financial intermediaries and instead utilizes blockchains. As DeFi apps are still in early stages, investors and traders face many unknowns: Is investing in DeFi safe? How do I make money with DeFi? When will DeFi go mainstream?

Synchronium CEO Babak Behboudi said about blockchain and crypto: “The main challenges I have seen are regarding regulation and culture. Regulators move very slowly when it comes to financing and new technologies as disruptive as this one. But even more challenging is corporate culture, companies are really reluctant to develop and implement new processes or new solutions if it modifies the ones they have in place. They fear risking breaking things that work, even if that means that their processes can be upgraded and improved greatly. And to change that, what we need to do is to change our mindset to this new technology first and then show them all they are missing by not adopting, or at least researching about it.”
