Throughout the month of August in cities across the world, Startup Grind is featuring leading experts on blockchain and cryptocurrency. So get ready for the first #SGBlockchain in Oslo!

Do you feel like all the bitcoin talk is blinding us? With endless price swings and get-rich-quick talk, crypto is stealing the show from those who are building interesting use cases on blockchain. Whether it’s social impact, fintech or logistics, blockchain might be the right technology and the world should hear about it!

Join our next event and find out the answers to you most burning questions:

• What are the use cases of blockchain beyond cryptocurrencies?
