MESSAGES FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Welcome to the Blockchain Alliance International – a new model of collaboration to address the challenges of the 21st century. Our world is changing rapidly and with that change comes technological progression of an unprecedented rate. New approaches are vital in order to generate innovative solutions. The congregation of efforts on the part of entrepreneurs, the private sector, civil society, governments, and internationals organizations is gaining more and more support worldwide. BAI is established as an effective, mobile, and efficient component of the nascent, but powerful cooperation that will change the future. Let us embrace it and advance sustainable development for all.

Sustainable development, a major objective of the United Nations, is not simply a mission for governments, international intergovernmental and civil society organizations – an opinion widely held and regarded. The number of stakeholders that support the UN objectives has increased significantly and is continuously expanding. The questions being faced now are multiplying as well – how to converge their potential and to keep pace with the technological revolution; how to adjust long-term plans and objectives of hard-negotiated diplomatic assemblies; how to use the power of technology and innovation to achieve SDGs? Blockchain Alliance International is inspired by these challenges and is working with relevant stakeholders to bring its contribution to sustainable development.

We know the UN, we know innovation, and entrepreneurship – come join us!
