The International Technology Summit Accelerates Blockchain and Digital Asset Momentum

Penrose Partners (www.penrosepartners.com), a Canadian & Bermudian emerging technology consulting firm, will be spearheading The International Technology Summit during the week of February 1st, 2021, through virtual and in-person sessions and workshops.

The International Tech Summit will bring together innovators, regulators and executives from Canada, Bermuda and around the world to explore the latest breakthroughs in blockchain technology fueled by Bermuda's digital asset regime. Attendees will be joining Penrose to discuss advancements made towards accomplishing the Bermuda Government’s mandate of growing the island's Fintech Industry.

These discussions will cover digital dollar payments, decentralized finance, clean technology, and unique enterprise implementations of blockchains. The Bermuda Government will present key milestones and their continuing strategy of facilitating collaboration and innovation between industry leaders, legislators and regulators across the Fintech Industry.

The Summit will include an Educational Fintech Workshop series hosted virtually in partnership with the Bermuda Government, Bermuda’s InnoFund Incubator and Clarien Bank. These workshops will dive deeper into the businesses actively pursuing or in receipt of Digital Asset Business licenses issued by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The session will uncover how innovations across the blockchain and digital asset market can accelerate the growth of Bermuda’s existing economic pillars. The workshops will challenge participants to explore the implications of these technologies on the Government’s payment mechanisms and internal treasury operations.

The feature event for the Summit will be a virtual conference hosted on Thursday, February 4th. This conference will provide new industry insights into how international technology leaders, public sector policy-makers, and their regulatory counterparts may collaborate to facilitate purposeful discussions and support emerging technology adoption in Bermuda.
