One of the areas where blockchain is being applied is in the simplification of the bank guarantee process. It’s a complex, paper based process that can take up to a month to issue due to the fact that multiple parties are often involved.
With Lygon, IBM is working with major banks and retail landlord Scentre Group to create a blockchain solution that can get that timeframe down to days.

In 2017, cryptocurrency looked like another story of tech success. Skyrocketing prices for Bitcoin and other digital currencies turned early adopters into millionaires, and a niche product quickly gained mainstream appeal. But the infrastructure around the technology simply wasn't there, and the bubble burst, leaving many investors badly burnt. Now much of the attention is around the blockchain systems that underpin cryptocurrencies. Large firms have embraced blockchain startups, convinced that this is revolution that will change the world if it can be managed maturely.

Manufacturing is often seen as a holy grail industry that provides long-term high paying jobs, imbues a country with a sense of pride (even if misplaced) and reassures the public that we are going to be self-sufficient in a crisis.
But manufacturing as a share of GDP has been in decline since the 1960s and despite report after report, we never really see a resurgence. 
Can we pull it off this time? And what will it take to do it?

Digitisation has brought the world to our fingertips and created enormous economic efficiencies and opportunities. But all those apps and analytics and APIs have to run on servers somewhere and as our usage grows, so too does the energy needed to power them. Julian De Hoog, a scientist at IBM's research centre in Melbourne wants to ensure that powering our digital future doesn't endanger our planet.
