Block World Tour 2022

BWT is a technological and multicultural event that has established itself in Europe after eight editions in four years focusing on revolutionizing the traditional concept of event for the Blockchain sector. Block World Tour events is the ideal showcase to learn about the most important developments in the sector, find opportunities for collaboration, promote their projects and businesses and be at the forefront of the future of technologies.

Be part of our Community!

In 2017, a group of entrepreneurs, companies and professionals made a first meeting to explore DLT & Blockchain technologies and find out how Andorra, as a country could promote economic transformation and growth. We were basically trying to define the competitive advantages that Andorra could take from these disruptive technologies in an international context. The group adopted the name of "ANDBlockchain", and we started to organize by ourselves by scheduling meetings every week.

Polkadot World Tour 2022 - BARCELONA

Polkadot will enable a completely decentralized web where users are in control.

Polkadot is built to connect private and consortium chains, public and permissionless networks, oracles, and future technologies that are yet to be created. Polkadot facilitates an internet where independent blockchains can exchange information and transactions in a trustless way via the Polkadot relay chain.

Polkadot makes it easier than ever to create and connect decentralized applications, services, and institutions. By empowering innovators to build better solutions, we seek to free society from its reliance on a broken web where its large institutions can’t violate our trust.

Mission

1. Create in Andorra a flourishing ecosystem of DLT/Blockchain projects under a framework of a 'serious hub', i.e. totally complaint with national and international regulations and industry's best practices. 2. Create a framework of self regulation to be applied to DLT/Blockchain projects to be created or managed by an andorran company. 3. Create a labeling work group to establish consensus on the set of guidelines to be observed by DLT/Blockchain projects that aim to receive a quality label / trust label from Andblockchain. 4. Promote the education on DLT/Blockchain for the general audience in Andorra to be able to participate actively in the ecosystem. 5. Promote Andorra as a serious hub for DLT/Blockchain and Startups in general in the international scene.

Vision

To create a national strategic plan of development to benefit from the big potential of Blockchain and DLT to drive disruptive innovation in Andorra and turn Andorra into a Technology Hub with a global reach. Inspired by the national motto "Virtus Unitas Fortior" ( Strength, United, is Stronger), we believe we can invite the traditional sector (the "Establishment"), the Government and the most innovative actors (the “New Economy") to sit at the same table and lead a mature conversation to create together an strategic plan that is transversal to all the institutions and that can adopt the status of a national strategy for economic and social growth in Andorra. This is achievable by working collaboratively with a culture of absolute transparency and encouragement in a democratic and “open source philosophy” for the 21st Century.

Values

TRUST: We understand the value of trusted relationships at all levels of the society and the economy, and strive to earn and keep the trust of all those with whom we interact. TRANSPARENCY: We are transparent in our deals and protect personal privacy. We look for the same in those with whom we work. COLLABORATION: We believe in the strength of enthusiastic cooperation and work to foster collaboration within our ecosystem and the wider community. INTEGRITY: We are honest in everything we do and take great care to maintain our integrity within our organization and in our dealings with others. INNOVATION AND QUALITY: We strive to be innovative in our work and to catalyze and support innovation in our ecosystem and the wider community. We are committed to achieve highest quality. BENEFICENCE: We believe that the blockchain and DLT technology have a useful and necessary social and economic use that we have to promote and implement
