MultiWallet aims to provide a generic platform that works across local governments to enable more targeted and more joined up service delivery. This is a new way of working that could enable the targeting of specific groups with services that the users are ‘pre–qualified’ to receive.
Oldenburg University’s Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) proof of concept explores how blockchain can be used to solve the privacy problems that are endemic to the sharing of remotely collected patient data. This is a privacy-first solution for collecting and sharing patient data so it can be reviewed by health workers.
EnergieKnip is the Netherlands’ largest government blockchain-enabled service. It provided residents of Emmen with an e-voucher after anonymously completing a questionnaire about how they used energy at home. This €50 could then be spent on energy-saving products at local hardware stores.
EnergyKnip 2.0 builds on the earlier EnergieKnip service with a new energy support offering that provides more energy efficient appliances to households living in energy poverty. Energy Coaches work with qualifying households to fund home energy-efficiency improvements.
Aalborg University finds that the challenges of adopting blockchain in a complex existing system are not unique to port systems. They identified 18 challenges to blockchain implementation, which were categorized into four dimensions: human factor, operational, organizational, and technological.
Aalborg’s study provides a framework for understanding the use of blockchain applications within maritime port environments, an under-studied part of blockchain implementation in the wider supply chain field. They looked at document workflow management, financial processes, and device connectivity.
SEStran (South-East Scotland Transport Partnership) undertook a review of the blockchain environment in Scotland/the UK, with a particular focus on blockchain in transport and in the public sector (especially local government). Stakeholders identified issues affecting techological adoption/change.
This research by Aalborg University examines to what extent various blockchain-use scenarios for the shipping industry are actually relevant to maritime port operators, and whether these blockchain use scenarios are aligned with ports’ long-term development strategies.
The adoption of blockchain-enabled services is a key part of a wider transition to the next generation of innovative government services. Learn how this once in a generational shift requires more than technological change – it requires policy, legal, and capacity development at all levels.
BRAT generates a maturity score for the organization, which can be compared to that of other organizations as a benchmark. An organisation can also repeat BRAT, and compare results to their earlier scores to see how their capacity is developing over time.
