Today the European Blockchain Sandbox announced the 20 participants in its second cohort. While one tends to think of sandboxes as necessary for financial applications, the EU has many new regulations regarding sustainable supply chains. Hence, the participants are from several sectors, but especially finance and product passports for supply chains.
Law firm Bird & Bird is the sandbox facilitator, and many national regulators have been engaging with the previous round of participants. It’s a mutual learning process so the startups can establish what’s possible and the regulators can improve their understanding.
The participants are:
- Brickken – real world asset tokenization platform
