EBSI
In 2020 Blockchain Competence Center and GS1 Hungary was selected and awarded by HaDEA (European Health and Digital Agency, formerly known as INEA) to implement the first private implementation of an EBSI node.
The project had three main objectives
-
- Collect information and create a knowledge base on EBSI and blockchain technology.
- Implement the EBSI node.
- Share the informations and the knowledge base to as many public organisations as possible.
On top of these we agreed to implement not only the EBSI node but to involve and support partners to create one or more potential use-cases for the EBSI.
The project created a dedicated website for collecting all relevant information which can be accessed by clicking on the button above.
About EBSI
Since 2018, 29 countries (All EU Member States, Norway and Lichtenstein) and the European Commission have joined forces to form the European Blockchain Partnership (EBP). They have committed to working together towards realising the potential of blockchain-based services for the benefit of citizens, society and the economy.
The Partnership is building a European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI). Their vision is to leverage blockchain to the creation of cross-border services for public administrations and their ecosystems to verify information and make services trustworthy.
Since 2020, EBSI is deploying a network of distributed blockchain nodes across Europe, supporting applications focused on selected use-cases. EBSI is the first EU-wide blockchain infrastructure, driven by the public sector, in full respect of European values and regulations.
