From September 14–18, 2019, Shanghai International Blockchain Week 2019, the largest and most influential blockchain gathering in China, will be held by the Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, a top blockchain research body in China. The event this year will bring together over 2000 participants and 250 experts of 50 global projects to share their insights and experience on the development of blockchain technology, its real-world applications, regulations & compliance.

Invited guests such as Dr. Xiao Feng, Vice Chairman & Executive Director at Wanxiang Holdings; Founder of Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, Vitalik Buterin, Founder of Ethereum and Chief Scientist at Wanxiang Blockchain; Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Webank (China’s first digital bank initiated by Tencent), Henry Ma; and the General Manager at China Unicom IoT Company, Chen XiaoTian, will be in attendance.

As the world’s leading enterprise-level public blockchain, VeChain possesses a proven track record of promoting the adoption of blockchain technology. For instance, VeChain developed My Story™ with DNV GL, a blockchain-powered, business assurance solution already implemented by three wineries in Italy: Ricci Curbastro, Ruffino and Torrevento.

Another example is the San Marino Low Carbon Ecosystem. This recently announced initiative is the first national-level blockchain-based program designed to drive environmentally friendly practices. The Ecosystem is entirely powered by the San Marino Innovation Token, a utility token issued on the VeChainThor Blockchain.
