OriginTrail Announces DKGcon Will Commence on May 6th in New York

OriginTrail, a decentralized protocol, facilitates efficient data sharing across various entities within a multi-chain ecosystem.

OriginTrail will host DKGcon, a three-day event spanning May 4th to May 6th at KGC (The Knowledge Graph Conference) in New York. The event will culminate at Microsoft Garage on May 7th, showcasing their vibrant ecosystem.

The Knowledge Graph Conference (KGC) is a premier gathering of experts and enthusiasts in the field of knowledge graphs. Hosted annually by the IEEE Computer Society, KGC brings together researchers, developers, and industry professionals to advance the theory, technology, and application of knowledge graphs.

DKGcon is a unique event that combines the technical aspects of knowledge graphs with the blockchain and Web3 domains. The event will feature a series of talks, panels, and workshops on topics such as:

* The role of knowledge graphs in Web3 and the metaverse

* Decentralized protocols for data sharing and interoperability

* Use cases of OriginTrail in different industries

* The future of data sovereignty and privacy in a Web3 world

Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and network with members of the OriginTrail community, including developers, entrepreneurs, and investors.

"We are excited to be hosting DKGcon at KGC this year," said Stefan Podlogar, CEO of OriginTrail. "We believe that there is a great synergy between knowledge graphs and blockchain, and we are looking forward to discussing these topics with other experts in the field."

DKGcon is free to attend, but registration is required. To register for the event, please visit the OriginTrail website.

In other news, a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) has highlighted the potential of blockchain technology to transform the food system and mitigate the climate crisis.

The report, titled "Harnessing Blockchain for a Sustainable Food System," was written by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and published by the WEF, examining the role of blockchain in enabling a sustainable food system. It focused on three key areas: reducing food waste, improving food security, and mitigating climate change.

The report found that blockchain could help to reduce food waste by improving traceability and transparency in the food supply chain. This would allow consumers to make more informed choices about the food they buy and reduce the amount of food that is unnecessarily discarded.

Blockchain could also help to improve food security by connecting smallholder farmers to new markets and providing them with access to essential financial services. This would help to reduce poverty and hunger in rural communities.

Finally, the report found that blockchain could help to mitigate climate change by enabling the development of new food production technologies and reducing the environmental footprint of the food system.

The report concluded that blockchain technology had the potential to make a significant contribution to transforming the food system and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

"The food system is at a crossroads," said Emma Skelton, Head of Food at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. "We need to radically change the way we produce, consume, and dispose of food if we are to feed a growing population, protect the planet, and improve people's lives."

"Blockchain can play a key role in driving this transformation by enabling new models of collaboration, trust, and efficiency," added Martin Kendall, Head of Global Food Security at the World Economic Forum. "By working together, we can harness the power of blockchain to create a food system that is good for people, good for the planet, and good for the economy."
