Proof of Trust seeks to support GCC governments in providing blockchain solutions and train bahrainis
The Proof of Trust, the world’s first globally patented smart contract validation and automated dispute resolution platform, collaborates with the Kingdom of Bahrain through KHK Holding, founded under the patronage of His Highness Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa. KHK Holding Company has a legacy in a multitude of sectors such as Sports, Media, Trading & Retail, Finance, Medical, Technology and Real Estate.
In 2017, the government launched its ‘StartUp Bahrain’ programme which has led to growth of nearly 50% in Bahrain’s startup ecosystem. Technology spending is also estimated to grow at an annual rate of 8.6% over the coming three years – demonstrating its hunger for innovation.
The Proof of Trust’s hub will meet the needs of the burgeoning tech sector by giving Bahrainis the opportunity to join educational courses run by The Proof of Trust through which they will be able to work for the Company within the region
Sakhib Waseem, Chief Innovation Officer at The Proof of Trust said: “The Kingdom of Bahrain has demonstrated an incredible level of dedication to building its nascent technology industry. As we enter the transitionary period out of the Covid-19 pandemic, governments and the private sector alike are seeking new ways to ensure business continuity to support economic recovery and protect against future black swan events. The Proof of Trust can provide solutions in support of both objectives through our innovative, IBM-backed protocol.
