The new members include Coca Cola, Catallaxy, Standard bank, Sun Life FInancial, TELUS, Canada Health infoay, Telos FOundation, slant, stride consultance services, Ownum, Matic, and Longhash.
As members, these organizations will receive proprietary access to the BRI’s catalogue of over 100 research projects, as well as member-exclusive supplementary materials, co-branding opportunities, events, webinars, and executive briefings.
“This announcement demonstrates not just the BRI’s consistent growth, but the widespread interest that enterprise leaders across industries and around the world have in this new technology,” said Blockchain Research Institute co-founder and executive chairman Don Tapscott. “These new members, all of whom are global leaders in their industries, will help guide our research and strengthen the membership network as a whole.”
“Stride is a growth strategy and innovation consultancy and we are passionately curious about blockchain technology. We recognised the BRI as the definitive think tank for blockchain research and we are very excited to be part of this global community of pioneers who is leading the blockchain revolution and empowering a decentralised digital economy " stated, Moerieda Mackay, Founder and CEO – Stride
“For the Telos Foundation, joining BRI was a natural extension of our mission to support purpose-driven blockchain projects. At this early stage of user adoption of distributed-ledger tech, we think it’s vital to share information with peers, and to learn from them whenever possible, so we can build a sustainable future together. BRI is clearly a great venue to do that " added, Suvi Rinkinen, CEO – The Telos Foundation
