The metaverse, dApps, NFTs, DAOs, smart contracts on blockchains,... How familiar are you already with Web 3.0, known as the 'next version' of the internet that is currently in full development? One thing is certain: a lot of innovative new possibilities are coming. But where does the hype stop and where are the really useful applications? And what can these mean very for your business in concrete terms?
Get to know Web 3.0
During our Web3Walks, experts will guide you through the essence of Web 3.0 step by step:
How is Web 3.0 different from the internet we know today?
What new use cases are coming?
Who are the key players in the market?
What skills will you need?
Where is the added value for your organization?
....
Our experts will explain the basics of Web 3.0 in minute detail in 5 episodes, while you follow quietly along on your laptop or, why not, on your smartphone while taking a breath of fresh air outside. The working language will be English. After each webinar, you will receive the presentation with the speaker's contact details so you can ask questions at your convenience.
