Panel discussion from Techsauce Summit 2017

Techsauce Global Summit 2018 is back, this year being bigger than ever! This time, the summit is heavily focused on deep-tech topics, set up with many stages from the intangible Blockchain and FinTech to giant-scale BioTech and EnergyTech. With over 10,000 global participants hailing from all over the world, whether you are a startup, corporate firm, a tech enthusiast, an investor or a curious individual, get ready to have your mind blown with the amount of knowledge sharing from this conference.

The line-up speakers this year not only include tech experts and leaders from Ethereum, DBS Bank, Garena and many other world-class companies, but we also have knowledgeable investors from top-tier venture capitals and angel funds who will be sharing their insights on working with growing startups. Here are some speakers whose talk you don’t want to miss:

JOSEPH LUBIN – Founder of Ethereum

Joseph Lunbin

Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrency caught the world’s attention when Bitcoin skyrocketed late last year, making many “investors” enthusiastic in putting money into this area of tech and urging people to seek on what exactly Blockchain technology is. However, questions and skepticism also arise from each and every direction on whether decentralization can solve all problems and also to what degree of transparency will blockchain offer. Joseph, being a specialist in this field, will focus on these topics - catch him at The Financial World Today and What to Expect for Tomorrow and Decentralizing Benefits and Challenges sessions on day 2.

DAVID BROWN – CEO of Techstars
