Internet Alliance organized the Malaysia Internet Business Summit 2018 at MaGIC building, Cyberjaya, Malaysia on 15th November 2018.

The theme for the event was “Digital Technology, Future Is Now”.

It’s an honor to be able to share the same stage with many of the established industry players.

I think I am the only “crypto guy” who shared a little bit about Blockchain in the event. The organizer actually reminded me (in a very polite way) that “you are not talking about cryptocurrency right? ….” kinda thing before confirming the slot for the event.

Yes, that normal “Blockchain is good, crypto is bad” perception. Anyhow, I do choose the topic “Blockchain In Supply Chain”, and made a little bit of introduction to Crypto Valley Malaysia Association which I co-founded to promote the tech movement to the country and the world.

Blockchain In Supply Chain – Dreams vs Reality

While transparency, traceability and trust are all the good element the blockchain technology promise to deliver, we still have to match those elements with real world business model and operating cases.

The reality of data policy according to country, stakeholders collaboration when it comes to implementation, and the data that we are collecting and feed into the system, are some of the real world challenges we need to face and tackle.

It might not be an easy job before we see the real killer apps in the supply chain when in comes to blockchain implemntation, but how hard can that be?

Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve

It is nice that the organizer hosted us the speakers a very good dinner after the day long event.

Thank you and wish you all a blessed and blissful journey in pursuing your dreams.

We also take the chance to mention a bit about the reason we setup Crypto Valley Association Malaysia.

Before going further into the topic of the session, an introduction to the whole technology movement is a must. That is, a century of technology innovation, by briefing into these questions:

1. What is blockchain?
2. What can we do with blockchain?
3. Where are we now?
4. Where are we heading?
5. Where do we want to go indeed?

Blockchain In The Supply Chain, Reality vs Dreams

Bitcoin is the buzz word, blockchain is the hype. There are still lots more to do before we can see the real impact.
