Antwerp: The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) has planned to organize introductory seminars on NFTs, Blockchains and Crypto. For many of us, it’s still a mystery, but in the diamond industry, the organizer sees companies pioneering with new and fresh ideas on how to integrate these new technologies into the diamond business. There is no doubt that these technologies will be at the forefront of the innovation of our industry and that’s why AWDC organizes two workshops for those who are not yet involved with all these innovations and want to get more in touch with concepts like NFTs, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency.

“We want to support innovation in our industry. We all must have a good understanding of how new technologies can bring value to your business. In two seminars we cover the basics of what should be on your radar and try to explain how it works. In the second seminar, we want to go deeper and share best practices, show concrete cases and ideas for the diamond business.”
