Chosen Vertical 2019: Supply Chain
Learn more about this Challenge
In theory, supply chain seems to be the perfect use-case for blockchain: Every step of the way from the harvest and mining of raw materials, over the production of goods, all the way to the consumers’ hands, must be documented in some form or another.
A blockchain lends it self to be the ultimate tool to eliminate human error, fraud, and provide perfect transparency over the entire history of any product, forever.
So why isn’t it already in use everywhere? What feature, standard, or innovation is missing, to convince retailers to start using a blockchain-based solution as their main method of keeping track of things?
Overall Winner 2019
IQ500 - The Cryptometer
The grand prize went to the Team “500IQ”. The 4 students of the EPTM Sion joined up with an exchange student from the University of St. Gallen and convince the jury with their project “Cryptometer”.
The idea behind the project is to use blockchain technology to decentralize power generation. Thanks to the “Cryptometer”, households can produce and buy more easily green electricity directly from each other.
The full idea explained here: Youtube
The winning solution was selected by the jury according to strict criteria:
Quality of the software prototype created, relevance of the business model, impact on the market and feasibility.
