Public Talk: Blockchain Technology Meets 4×4 Innovation Financing – IP Lawyer Tools

Posted on May 4, 2021 by Design in Design Innovation | 0 Comments

This is a talk that I have given on 29 April 2021, before the Singapore-German Chamber of Commerce (SGC), during one of the ‘Thursdays with the SGC’ sessions.

In very short words, I am starting from a negative example on Kickstarter.com and I am explaining how to use blockchain technology for setting up a proprietary crowdfunding environment for developing a new product.

Blockchain tokens are used as pre-sales indicators that tell whether or not the targeted market is willing to put money on the table for the planned new product.
