I start this new story with my connection to Mastercard and Innovation. As an Innovation leader, I continuously searched for innovative solutions. Luckily I had solid commitments from my past employer to invest in innovative technologies.
One of the crucial technologies was Blockchain, and for this reason, we joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance - We joined the alliance on the same day as Mastercard.
It was a life moment for me, as the press release had my thoughts, and it was shared on Nasdaq's website.
My other big bet in 2017 was the Mixed reality. However, I had more negative comments than positive ones; I went forward with such technological developments.
You can imagine, if blockchain had negative comments, what comments you have for mixed reality in '17. We created the first holographic telepresence systems, to mix different realities.
Today, the conference proven, I did't take the wrong path, just my environment didn't understand the importance of the future.
Today, I participated in the NFT hunt which was part of the program.
NFT's as well other blockchain fueled solutions was part of the presentations. I can state, we heard more about these then traditional finance.
Mostly we heard about the Metaverse, how it will transform our lives, and our business. As the conference had more than one thousand guests the words will spread widely.
Cathy Hackl
and
Raja Rajamannar
did exceptional work in their presentations. Both of them also author of a book about the Metaverse.
Hopefully their presentation will be available online, but until that time two videos from today, which ignite your imagination!
Thanks for the organizers of the conference! Looking forward for the next day!
