Description du projet
Encourager les PME à adopter les technologies de la blockchain et des registres distribués
Les technologies de la blockchain et des registres distribués (BDLT) présentent un potentiel énorme et nous promettent des solutions plus transparentes, plus responsables, plus efficaces et plus sûres pour échanger de l’information. Toutefois, leur adoption à grande échelle est freinée par, entre autres obstacles, la fragmentation. Le projet BLOCKPOOL s’est donc fixé pour objectif de bousculer ce statu quo et d’améliorer la capacité d’innovation des PME en augmentant l’utilisation des technologies BDLT. Son objectif final est de servir de portail durable pour les technologies BDLT destinées aux PME en renforçant le cadre de recherche et de formation, ainsi qu’en améliorant le financement et le soutien apportés à ces recherches. Le projet permettra également de sensibiliser l’opinion et de diffuser les connaissances et les meilleures pratiques relatives aux BDLT dans toute l’Europe.
Objectif
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (BDLTs) cover a revolutionary potential but their uptake and deployment to value chains other than financial ones remains slow. Among other causes, fragmentation and a series of obstacles to their market deployment hamper the diffusion and pace of adoption of BDLTs by SMEs.
Blockpool.eu (https://blockpool.eu/) aims to enhance SME innovation capacity by providing better innovation support. We will use the power of intermediary organisations (clusters, federations...) and cross-regional industrial networks to Pilot the acceleration of SME uptake and deployment of BDLTs. Our consortium thus aims to accelerate the cross-border uptake and deployment of BDLTs by/to European SMEs. Blockpool.eu aims to grow beyond the Pilot Project to become a sustainable Portal for BDLT deployment.
We will build and strengthen SMEs’ and intermediaries’ BDLT capacity in a cross-value chain fashion, and strengthening both supply and demand sides through 1) a Blockchain “deployment pool” and 2) generic support activities. Besides enabling actions toward framework conditions and the capacity increase of SMEs, intermediaries and to another extent policy makers and regulators, Blockpool.eu will develop a Deployment Pool: 25 SME projects will be selected through an Open Call allocating at least 50% of the total project budget to test and validate new BDLT solutions (TRL7+) in most prominent sectors (e.g. supply chain, energy, healthcare, Fintech, Insurance, Legal, Shipping & Social Good). SMEs will also benefit from the support of our Mentors Network, training (MOOC/Webinars), as well as other innovative tools.
That way, Blockpool.eu will contribute to the demonstration of BDLTs to SMEs across EU value chains but also generate impacts at a broader level than the one of its Deployment Pool: we will generate impacts at the level of the framework conditions (economic, social, legal and regulatory) conditioning the uptake and deployment of BDLTs.
