Nowadays it is difficult to find an expert that is against blockchain technology. But instead it is getting very common to hear positive comments towards distributed ledger technology. When asked about blockchain as a driver of economic growth, Chiaravone explained:

“When you think about it from an enterprise perspective, it has the ability to replace reconciliation, which is expensive and requires back office, and time, and paperwork, with more instantaneous verification. Companies can have more efficient supply chains and can cut their back and middle office costs.”

At the same time, Mr. Chiaravone ranked blockchain as one of the key technologies that will drive the next industrial revolution.
