TechTalk: Digital Issuance
Description
.
WHY ATTEND
The Investment Association invites you to our latest TechTalk as we discuss the opportunity that digitisation presents and how the application of distributed ledger technology and tokenisation could have a transformative impact on the industry.
Digitisation and distributed ledger technology is at a relatively early stage of adoption and this presents the industry with a chance to shape how the technology is developed for use in the sector. This TechTalk will have leading industry experts explore how digitisation might be utilised, either when considered against the existing systems or processes or considered away from the constraints of the current settlement infrastructure.
As this technology is increasingly adopted, we discuss what is the end goal, and what are the barriers to getting there?
