Vision
About technological development in China. The way we have built our digital and technological infrastructure is different from the Western world and that has paid off as it is allowing China to advance very quickly. We are integrating high-end technologies like IoT, blockchain, AI and people are benefiting from it as it is driving a lot of innovation in sectors such as Fintech, Supply Chains, Computing and Hardware manufacturing. Another great driving force is the effort that has been put into the academics, promoting University education and financial literacy across the country.
About Candaq. Since Candaq was created in 2015, we have invested in more than 15 projects in the blockchain and tech space. One of those projects is Polkadot, which we invested in 2018 and have been building the interesting platform based on ethereum.
The investment arm is one of the pillars of our company. The second one is consultancy. Helping projects come into fruition and putting together the government, universities and startups.
About Polkadot and blockchain. Blockchain apps and platforms need to have a utility to become truly widespread. That is the only way for blockchain. There has been a misunderstanding when approaching blockchain as many investors and users have seen crypto and blockchain as a security, but in the end what matters the most is the utility of them. The Polkadot platform is built on ethereum and uses smart contracts to make sure that it is useful for the users. There is a utility value in the network.
