Our Taskforce has a specific goal to drive the adoption of digital trust technologies across Scotland's key industries and it was fantastic to bring some of our members together yesterday in the glorious setting of Edinburgh Napier University Craiglockhart campus for our July meeting. We had some great conversations around Digital Identity, Regulatory Sandboxes, Innovation opportunities and Industry Engagement with some exciting initiatives already underway for this year. As we start to look forward we're turning our attention to reshaping our Digital Trust Roadmap for the next two years. 💬 We’d love to hear from you: what else does Scotland need to lead in this space?

📍After crypto, what's the next "Killer app" of Blockchain: ➡️ Self-sovereign Digital Identity on the Blockchain ➡️ Blockchain-powered Trade & Supply Chains ➡️ AI governance anchored in auditable, tamper-proof ledgers ➡️ Public Services on the Blockchain: Land Registry, Tokenised Real-Estate, Healthcare, Voting, Taxation, Education, and many more ➡️ Blockchain-based Data Provenance: The Trust layer of Singularity in a Post-Truth World 🟩 Crypto is just one square in the entire Blockchain universe. And yet, for many, it’s the only square they’ve ever explored. Blockchain isn’t just the future of money. It’s the future of Trust infrastructure. The question is no longer “What can Blockchain do?” - It’s “What do we need Trust for next?” #Blockchain #Web3 #Crypto #DigitalIdentity #AI #Governance #DataTrust #SupplyChain #FutureOfWork #PublicSectorInnovation #SelfSovereignIdentity #UKBlockchain #JBBA #EvidenceBasedBlockchain #DigitalAssets

🚀 Beyond the Hype: Scotland's First DeFi Summit is Redefining Sustainable Finance While others chase the next crypto trend, we're building foundations that last. On 6 August 2025, Edinburgh becomes the epicentre of sustainable decentralized finance as professionals gather to move beyond speculation to substance. Why this matters now: ✅ DeFi market exceeds $120 billion - but where's the real value? ✅ UK's first regulated GBP stablecoin launching ✅ Traditional finance finally bridging with DeFi (properly) ✅ Scotland positioning as global FinTech leader Not your typical crypto conference: → Real asset tokenization, not speculation → Regulatory clarity, not avoidance → Sustainable yields, not ponzi-nomics → Ethical frameworks, not deception Dr Lisa Cameron Dr. Maciej Zurawski Boris R.
