According to the latest findings by Deloitte, based on surveys of executives from seven countries and nine different industries, more than three-quarters of the surveyed companies will lose competitiveness without the use of blockchain technology.

And this despite the fact the technical capabilities of the Blockchain are not sufficiently proven for business-critical use in companies.

In order to remain competitive nationally and, more importantly, internationally, and to become less dependent on sporting success, clubs must generate new sources of income. At the same time, new technologies can help to optimize existing processes and increase efficiency; this too can give clubs a competitive edge.
