The Dutch Blockchain Coalition welcomes the Ministry of Finance as a new key partner. The coalition, a public-private partnership, wants to realise new digital trust platforms for governments, companies and citizens.
The Ministry of Finance is the fifth Dutch government ministry to join the coalition, and by doing so, it further strengthens the coalition’s societal basis. Within the coalition, the Ministry will work on the theme “Compliancy by Design”.
Coalition manager Frans van Ette: ‘The Ministry of Finance is vital in the implementation of the major changes that are possible with blockchain. So the fact they have joined the coalition is very good news for the Netherlands and especially the other coalition partners.’
