December 3 @ 16:00 - 18:00
With the increasing interconnection of everything and the increasing computational capabilities available at hand, new distributed architectures for our digital infrastructures and ecosystems are constantly emerging.
While we have seen a shift from mainframe computers to PCs in the ninetieth of the last century, followed by the rise of the clouds and mobile devices in the early 2000s, we are now facing a shift from traditional network structures to dynamic and flexible connections that enable players to cooperate without the need for central intermediates.
Given these developments, traditional organization patterns and processes are no longer applicable. This is specifically true for the financial sector where crypto currencies enable to transfer money without the need for any intermediates (banks).
In this session of the NGI-Talks we will discuss how decentralization will effect our financial systems and businesses, what developments we can expect in the future, and which risks we have to face. The three impuls talks will address decentralisation from the economical, the organisational, and the regulatory point-of-view. Afterwards, we will discuss how these developments may impact our future economy and what challenges we will have to face.
