The partnership makes Perlin an official partner of the ICC. The blockchain startup will offer free access to its platform during the initial stages. According to the announcement, emphasizes will be on

“practical, efficient and scalable blockchain traceability and transparency systems for value chains.”

John Denton who is the general secretary of the ICC was excited by the partnership and said:

“In collaboration with Perlin, which leads the field in blockchain and distributed ledger development, we can help facilitate practical and truly disruptive transformation for businesses across every conceivable industry sector.”
