A blockchain enabled ‘Digital Single Economy” can act as a catalyst for growth and could provide a platform where borderless innovative practices will thrive and create a true collaborative global economy, with shared goals and objectives for the benefit of wider community. A society where digital economy flourishes irrespective of geopolitical ideologies and where a technology like Blockchain holds transformative potential to unite the nations together. The UK currently has strong collaborations around blockchain including with the British Blockchain Association which aims to integrate with the EU on the adoption of Blockchain based methods around a range of application areas. However, at the core of these alliances must be the promotion of technology which link industry, the public sector, and academia, whilst also integrating key stakeholders, such as law enforcement, finance, health care, professional bodies and the legal industry.
