Belgium Seeks To Reboot EU Blockchain Project
Belgium plans to accelerate the development of a European blockchain infrastructure during its presidency of the Council of the European Union in early 2024.
The proposal aims to secure the storage of official documents like driving licenses and property titles. Belgium’s Secretary of State for Digitization, Mathieu Michel, suggests rebooting the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) project, which was established in 2018 in collaboration with the European Blockchain Partnership.
The renewed EBSI, renamed Europeum, would be used for public administration tasks, such as verifying driver’s licenses and other documents across the EU. The project could also support the digital euro infrastructure. The remaining three initiatives will focus on artificial intelligence, online anonymity, and digital economy skills.
