Paul Bentley, Head of Entrepreneurs at Kleinwort Hambros, on the impact blockchain can have on the economy

Following the recent Entrepreneurs Forum event hosted by Kleinwort Hambros*, Paul Bentley, Head of Entrepreneurs, comments on the impact blockchain can have on the economy and how this technology can be used as a tool with which to integrate businesses around data:

The technology that underpins Blockchain has the potential to revolutionise the way we share and process information. Where previously large trusted institutions (and the costs that accompanies them) controlled the flow and change of data now it is the data users themselves that hold the key. Once the technology matures entrepreneurs will find fewer barriers to bringing their visions into reality and the global economy will benefit as a result.

“Supporting entrepreneurs with topical events such as this demonstrates our ongoing commitment to help our clients with their financial and business needs, shining a light on issues that really resonate with them.

* Speakers included Adi Ben-Ari, CEO and Founder of Applied Blockchain, who sits at the cutting edge of the practical uses of Blockchain, and Steve Pomfrett, CEO and Founder of Cygnetise, an entrepreneur successfully delivering real world value from the technology.
