#Goodstart

Last week Niall and I spoke about AidTech’s use of digital identity to change people’s lives by facilitating remittances, tokenized goods, transparent donations and smart contracts.  

This week we continue our discussion – going into the finer details of how this business model can continue to make a difference. The good and the bad. The challenges and the aspirations for a firm with aspirations of this scale. 

As the largest and multi-dimensional blockchain for good firm that I’ve come across, AidTech is an excellent representation of where this sector can go.

How can blockchain be used to change the entire aid industry: across remittances, donations, smart contracts, supply chains, tokenisation and many more areas?

We've covered a lot of usage cases in this first series but, for me, AidTech summarises the true potential of blockchain in the 'for good' space. Putting digital identity at its core, their impact stretches across countries and across countless functions: showing the power of blockchain to change people's lives everywhere.

This interview is packed with great stories and so I've split it into two. Make sure you come back next week for Part II!

We've looked at solar energy-sharing in another episode (with Solshare) but this is a different angle entirely. 

This is about you being able to supply schools and companies with cheaper electricity; whilst making an income for yourself; whilst using only energy from the sun. 

As Abe from the Sun Exchange explains, this incredible combination has only very recently become possible : thanks to blockchain.

Vaccines touch everyone across the world: from the poorest to the richest countries.

If one in every four vaccines is expired before it is used (excluding the numbers of fake goods), we are all exposed to the cost and the health impacts of this waste. We're either suffering from diseases that are completely preventable - or we're paying for a massive over-supply of drugs to make up the difference.

In this episode, Sid from Statwig explains how he is using blockchain to transform the supply chain for vaccines. Everyone wins when there is more efficiency and more transparency - and blockchain is helping to make that change.
