The ITS Rio and the BNDES (Brazilian National Economic and Social Development Bank) gathered together to exchange knowledge about the blockchain technology with guided visits in two major global innovation and technology hubs: New York and Boston, USA.

The trip’s objective was to connect the BNDES with some of the main private and academic organisations involved with the blockchain ecosystem, such as Consensys, R3, Hyperledger, MIT, Harvard, Columbia University, and others.
