Celebrating the end of another great fiscal year

The Blockchain Center of Excellence continues to create significant impact in the spheres of business, academia, and society by fulfilling the Center’s mission to make the Sam M. Walton College of Business a premiere academic leader in research and education of blockchain-enabled technologies and digital ecosystems. The fiscal year (July 2020 – June 2021) has come to an end with numerous achievements and accomplishments to look back to.

The Blockchain Center of Excellence welcomed two large enterprise-level organizations, FedEx and Accenture, as new members to the Executive Advisory Board this last year. The past year marked the beginning of our amazing initiative, Women in Blockchain. We also feel the joy in sharing the details of our successful events, initiatives, and achievements in BCoE during the last year, in our Annual Report.

The report gives you a glimpse of all the awe-inspiring initiatives, events, and achievements of BCoE. In the last year, BCoE added to its list, a number of virtual events, conferences, workshops, initiatives, engagements with working groups, educational partnerships, research and publications, and awards.

The BCoE team, students and faculty greatly appreciate the continued support from BCoE Executive Advisory Board members in helping the University of Arkansas meet our mission to research and educate students and professionals on blockchain-enabled solutions.  We look forward to working with members in 2021 and beyond to help enterprises realize the vision for an Internet of Value.
