Blockchain Hackathon - Visma Connect joined "Blockchaingers" 2018

On 5, 6, 7 and 8 April 2018, the Suikerunie site was the epicenter of modern technology. The old industrial site was the location of the largest and most challenging hackathon event in Europe: the Blockchaingers Hackathon 2018.

That's why our team joined the blockchain hackathon in Groningen as well. During the event, the Visma Connect team build a portal that can be accessed by using the blockchain. In this case, blockchain is used as a means of identification. Teamlead Rogier Morsink: “I think we are changing society." "Because we are making things easier for many organisations in the Netherlands.”
