The green industrial transition requires collaboration between companies as well as new digital solutions for information exchange and coordination. Blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies can play a significant role in enabling this transition.
The technology behind blockchain provides distributed consensus and is particularly well suited for applications within supply chains. Verification of the properties and origin of a product and its components is important from both ecological and humanitarian perspectives. Today, resilience, transparency, and trust are also key characteristics in business relationships where many actors collaborate within a value network.
There is therefore a need for IT systems that enable validation and support decision-making. This project addresses these challenges by funding a postdoctoral researcher dedicated to working with these issues. The project builds on previous research and strengthens collaboration with Swedish industry as well as relevant government agencies within the field.
