✨ At @proofoftalk in Paris, the #SDGBlockchainAccelerator Impact Showcase connected practical blockchain use cases with builders and ecosystem actors.
One outcome of this session was the new partner conversations for cohort 3 of the accelerator, which will open soon...
🌟 As this is the ninth and final Blockchain Talk of the season, we hope you can join us for a practical closing discussion on one of the most active intersections in digital public infrastructure. 👇

🌟 @UNDP’s Blockchain Advisory Group is now officially launched, opening a new structured space with senior leaders from across the blockchain ecosystem.
For us, this is part of a longer effort to move the blockchain for development conversation into a more responsible space.
Just back from Paris 🇫🇷 after two great days with the @UNDP team and the Blockchain Advisory Group.
One perspective I shared: while token ledgers have driven the first wave of blockchain use cases, the real impact of the technology for public good will come from compute.
The combination of sovereign cloud infrastructure and AI is where things become transformative.
AI is becoming both the most powerful builder and the most capable attacker. At the same time, critical digital infrastructure is often dependent on foreign providers, with growing concerns around control, resilience, and data sovereignty.
Cloud Engines address this directly by enabling tamperproof, always-on, sovereign environments where AI can build and operate software. This is already taking shape with forward-looking governments like Pakistan @digitalauthpk and upcoming offering from the @swisssubnet Cloud Engines.
For governments, NGOs, and enterprises, this is not just an upgrade. It is a new foundation to secure an important lifeline of modern economies: compute.
Appreciation to the @UNDP_AltFinLab for convening and driving these important discussions at the intersection of governments, NGOs, and technology companies.
Looking forward to strengthening the collaboration with the UNDP team as well as contributing to the Advisory Group.
Stay tuned!
How can technology help deliver better services for people?

✨ Today at @sciencespo, we moved into the policy room, focusing on institutional readiness, governance that can hold trust and people-centred services.
The #GovernmentBlockchainAcademy was also introduced as a practical route into that work.
🌟 More from the full recap soon...
🌟 After @proofoftalk and the launch of the @UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group, #ScalingBlockchainForPublicGood moves today into a public-policy and government-facing setting at @sciencespo.

Excited to explore what this means in practice & 🆕forms of partnership for devt at scale!
@UNDP_AltFinLab
1.3 billion people still have no access to formal financial services. This afternoon, seven teams are pitching blockchain solutions to change that.
Haiti. Liberia. Bangladesh. The Gambia. Each one working directly with @UNDP on the ground to bring financial access, digital identity, and climate finance to the people who need it most.
This is why we built a room like this.
✨As @UNDP convenes #ScalingBlockchainForPublicGood at @proofoftalk, the conversation begins with what has already been tested.
🌟New Tech, New Partners shares practical cases across payments, identity, climate resilience, trusted data and public systems.
