Visionary outlook of Blockchain technologies and potential uses

Ashkan Fardost

Ashkan began his digital journey in the late 2000’s: by producing music with software and growth hacking Napster, his music spread throughout the world and landed him a record deal with EMI and Armada Music—as a 17 year old. He’s also spent many years in the world of technological innovation, with a PhD in chemical catalysis from Uppsala University and many years of involvement in the Stockholm startup scene.

Today he studies and advises on how technology and digitalisation affects industries, societies and human behavior. He’s also a partner at Tannak, a Swedish startup that connects free-ranging animals to the internet, in extreme environments with neither electricity nor mobile data coverage.
