🚀 Enhancing Supply Chain Security with Blockchain Technology 🚀 Supply chains are the backbone of our global economy, and securing them is more critical than ever. Blockchain technology plays a pivotal role in this mission by ensuring transparency among stakeholders, preventing data manipulation, and ultimately building consumer trust. 🌍🔒 We’re proud to share that our Senior Researcher, Stefan Craß, recently contributed his expertise to a panel discussion on cybersecurity in supply chains at the WKO Information & Consulting event. 🎥 Watch the discussion on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dZb3KggK Blockchain continues to revolutionise industries - supply chain security is no exception. Let’s work together to create safer, more transparent systems. 💡✨ (Photo by Reinhard Fischer) #Blockchain #SupplyChain #Cybersecurity #Innovation #Transparency #Trust

Could blockchain be the key to revolutionising recycling? ♻️ Following the same old principles as Germany's system introduced over two decades ago Austria’s single-use deposit system (Einwegpfandsystem) will levy a 25 Cent deposit per bottle. With the system set to launch on 1st January 2025, it’s time to revisit how blockchain can offer alternatives and contribute to sustainable deposit systems. An article in Profil magazine dives into research from the Austrian Blockchain Center in collaboration with the University Klagenfurt, WU Vienna, and Coca-Cola HBC that looked at a simple, but powerful idea: replacing the punitive mindset of “punishments are necessary” with the empowering concept of “(token) rewards are allowed”. Our research suggests that using token-based incentives rather than punishments to shape consumer behaviour could significantly boost collection rates. By motivating even the unwilling to participate, such a system proved highly effective and could outperform traditional deposit schemes.
