The module will explore the features and benefits of blockchain, and examine how it can be applied in different industries, such as finance, supply chain, and healthcare. The module will also address concerns around the legitimacy of blockchain technology, including its perceived complexity, security risks, and regulatory challenges.

UNIT 1: What is blockchain, and why does it matter to business?

This unit provides the foundation of how blockchain works, its technical challenges, and its business applications. Participants will learn about the core concepts and mechanisms of blockchain, the technical challenges it faces, and its potential benefits to various industries. Through case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will gain a practical understanding of how blockchain can create value for businesses and society.

UNIT 2: Blockchain economy and economics
