The European Union (EU) has decided to integrate blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) in a pivotal moment in the EU’s digital transformation strategy.
A recent report by the European Union Blockchain Observatory and Forum (EUBOF) sheds light on the EU’s intent to “deepen cooperation on blockchain and Web3 technologies” through EUROPEUM-EDIC – a new legal entity established by a consortium of nine member states.
According to the report, “The EUROPEUM-EDIC will support cross-border cooperation between public authorities on Web3 and decentralised technologies, promoting innovation and interoperability of such solutions with other technologies.”
The nine member states, including- Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania, and Slovenia – will further deploy and expand the exploitation of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) to deliver EU-wide cross-border services, in particular public services.
According to EU’s report, Poland has also officially asked to join the EUROPEUM EDIC, and other Member States are expected to express interest.
