GBBC leads a global paradigm shift
In 2017 at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the Global Blockchain Business Council launched an industry association of 50 of the world’s leading minds and blockchain advocates. The group was conceived during one of Sir Richard Branson’s Blockchain Summits on Necker Island and had just one goal: educating and engaging regulators, business leaders, and lawmakers on how to harness this groundbreaking technology to create more secure, equitable, and functional societies.
In 2020, the GBBC’s global presence has grown to include 22 new jurisdictions: Austria, Bahrain, Bermuda, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Canada, Ecuador, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Palau, Rwanda, South Korea, Taiwan, Uganda, and Vanuatu.
What makes the blockchain ecosystem unique is its spirit of collaboration and inclusion. This very ethos is embodied in the GBBC regional ambassadorship, whereby trusted thought leaders from diverse backgrounds and jurisdictions come together to advance understanding and adoption of blockchain technology for the benefit of society and industry.
