Steering committee

Best Practices

The committee that turns what the Nordic ecosystem already knows into material any business can use – and finds out where adoption is actually getting stuck.

Mission

To be the Nordic reference point for how blockchain is actually adopted – a back-to-basics hub that answers one question honestly for any organisation: can this technology solve your business problem, and if so, how?

What it works on

  • A best-practice knowledge hub. Whitepapers, reports, use-case catalogues and step-by-step guides collected in one place, written for organisations outside the industry rather than inside it.
  • Mapping Nordic adoption. A survey of which companies across the Nordics and Baltics are using blockchain and for what – paired with a second survey on what actually blocks adoption and where the knowledge gaps sit.
  • Priority industries. Choosing the three to five sectors the committee goes deep on, rather than covering everything thinly.
  • Member-authored papers. Research and practitioner pieces written by committee members and presented at the Nordic Blockchain Conference.
  • A shared Nordic narrative. One way of describing blockchain adoption that members can reuse in their own communication – supported by the Nordic and European adoption weeks for consumers and companies.
  • Institutional networks. The Nordic Blockchain Banking Network and NGO Network, and roundtables with the financial supervisors.
