Blockchain has the potential to change the world of supply chain management for good. Transparent end-to-end tracing, automated payment processes, higher data quality, and others are promises that have created a lot of buzz. But what does reality look like? We have invited industry leaders, all part of the BLOCKCHERS project, to share their knowledge in a panel discussion. Topics we are going to discuss:

• How to create transparency along the supply chain for physical and digital products?
• How to ensure that off-chain data inputs are reliable?
• What specific use cases are possible today?
• What does the future look like and what do we need to get there?

Our panelists have first-hand experience as they work on cutting-edge implementation of blockchain for supply chain, transparency, and data integrity.
