Blockchain Governance as an Export Industry: Observations for Australia

Australia has a unique place in the emerging global blockchain industry. If it positions itself carefully and mindfully, can Australia play a leading role of exporting best practice and governance principles around digital assets and DLTs? What commitment does the Government need to make to facilitating infrastructure and consequently attracting investment into this country around blockchain? What capacity building is required to sell services and these expertise to others. What does Australia need to do to be a leader and should Australia be taking this step at a government level in such an emerging industry? How ultimately does Australia make sure it is attracting investment from the blockchain community and not losing talent and therefore investment to other countries? In this session we explore these questions and look at the experience of other countries through the eyes of our Lead Participants and an example from Malta.
