In less than a month, the DLT4EU Accelerator programme will come to an end. It has been an intense experience, with lots of hard work and learnings. But, finally the moment of explaining strengths and pitfalls has arrived. On May 6 from 10:30h to 12:30h (CET) the three accelerator initiatives that will receive follow-on funding will be publicly announced at the programme’s final (online) event. What to expect from the occasion? Let’s check out the full agenda!
Grand opening for a grand experience
The opening of the event is in charge of Fabrizio Sestini, Senior Expert for Digital Social Innovation at the European Commission DG Connect department, and Liz Corbin, DLT4EU Programme Director from Metabolic. Sestini will share insights on the current and future Digital Transition actions carried out by the EC while Corbin will introduce the outcomes of the project and all of those involved in making it possible.
Round table with leading-voices of the sector
Time now to unveil, as promised, the experts who will join the live Round Table to discuss the use of technology for the common good, and how DLT solutions can help tackle social and environmental challenges. We are very glad to share these incredible names:

Together they will discuss and explore what has been done to progress early-stage innovation and how emerging technologies for social and public sectors can be properly supported, as well as the lessons learned during the DLT4EU journey.
Announcement of the three winning projects
After the showcase of the 8 Proof-Of-Concepts (POC) outcomes video of the DLT4EU Accelerator programme, it is time for the protagonists of the day: the Venture Teams.
Marcella Atzori, Blockchain Advisor to the European Commission, is part of the Jury who has selected the awarded solutions that will receive follow-on funding.
