July, 20206 Despite the obvious negative impacts, the COVID-19 pandemic is orchestrating a new status quo--one that is based upon digital societies and will accelerate major technological innovations that are already underway. Blockchain is among the many critical advancements that the pandemic is pushing forward. Now one may ask, what is it about this uncertain global economy that makes 2020 such a pivotal year for this particular innovation?While blockchain might not be able to address the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and recovery directly, it can help in supply chain visibility. Applications such as food tracking, goods authentication, and sensitive data storage involve significant regulatory work to tie real-world objects to their tokenized equivalents. Additionally, with the growing popularity of cross-border and cross-organization partnerships in the healthcare sector, blockchain is facilitating a new way of clinical data sharing as well. Considering the pivotal role blockchain is playing in accelerating post-crisis digital transformation initiatives, it's possible that, by the end of the year, we may even see what kind of services and tools will be used in the future.In this edition of APAC CIO Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the most successful blockchain solution and service providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
