Blockchain Academy: Implementing blockchain solutions in
business
October 13, 2018
As always, a big part of education at RIT Croatia is
connected to being aware and knowledgeable of new and upcoming technologies.
Our professor, Dr. Peter Schmidt, came up with the idea of a Blockchain Academy
and has organized it in a lecture series for students who are showing a really
big interest in this topic. Dr. Schmidt opened the Academy with two lectures on
the groundwork for understanding technology and potential of blockchain based
cryptocurrencies, and then the floor turned to ouside experts; our students
will listen to practitioners from the Croatian blockchain space.
Luka Klancir visted our Zagreb campus on October 12 and
talked about his experience in this field and gave a better insight of
implementing this technology into business. Luka ventured into the crypto and
blockchain space in early 2013 with founding and launch of the first Croatian
Bitcoin Portal (crobitcoin.com). Furthermore, he worked in a Croatian digital
agency managing dozens of projects and products for top global and local
clients like Adriatic Luxury Hotels, FOUR32c, DELL, and Heineken. Luka’s
educational background is in software engineering, but he has vast experience
in business development, organization, and operations. He has consulted a dozen
projects in the blockchain space and been actively investing since 2014. He is
now the cofounder and COO of Async Labs, a digital agency focused on working
with blockchain technology.
