Our CEO and Istanbul Blockchain Women Association Board Member Leyla Arsan attended the Blockchain Summit, held virtually on 26 October 2021. The summit gathered many professionals around the theme of blockchain technology, its future, and expectations. As one of the speakers, Leyla Arsan presented the GLASS research project which will develop an innovative e-governance model as a blockchain-based ‘European Digital Single Gateway’ for democratizing the relationship between citizens and governments.
More than 20 speakers came together virtually around a full-day scheduled summit. 2022 expectations regarding digital currencies and fan tokens, how central and government banks are approaching blockchain, and many more subjects were discussed with professionals.
In her speech, Leyla Arsan presented the project with a use-case namely: “Alice Moving Abroad” and its objectives, benefits, the role of TAGES and its partners. GLASS, funded by European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 is an ongoing research and innovation action which allows citizens to carry their digital wallets wherever they go. Using ‘single sign-on wallet as a service’ GLASS regulates information access through Europe.
With GLASS, citizens get to control their own stories and data. Their bureaucratic process of moving abroad- for instance- is simplified and secured. Not only citizens but businesses and governments as well benefit from the project by its time-saving, data recording, sharing and documentation features. Besides, GLASS ensures data confidentiality, the integrity of interactions with a cost-effective, innovative e-governance platform.
At the end of her speech, she made a call to the potential stakeholders to team up in order to enhance the project by contributing on the development of the e-governance model of GLASS. TAGES, as one of the 13 partners, is taking charge of innovation, research, and development of the project.
