Luxembourg, May 19, 2020 - Netcompany-Intrasoft (previously known as INTRASOFT International) has been awarded the European Blockchain Observatory and Forum project by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Informatics (DIGIT).

The Observatory (accessed at https://www.eublockchainforum.eu/) was created in 2017 aimed at facilitating the development and uptake of blockchain applications in Europe, and thereby positioning the EU as a global leader in the field.

Building on the work done since its launch and taking stock of its achievements, Netcompany-Intrasoft has won a clear mandate to reinvigorate its mission and further expand and strengthen its activities in the world of blockchain. Netcompany-Intrasoft is leading a consortium of technology leaders aiming to engage the European blockchain community, providing educational and dissemination opportunities among stakeholders, and further participating in the cutting edge developments in this area.

This is a multifaceted project with a diverse array of activities and scope, varying from web development to stakeholder engagement and digital communications, training and consulting.

Mr. Alexandros Manos, Managing Director of Netcompany-Intrasoft commented: “We are extremely happy to announce our new exciting project with DIGIT, which solidifies our position in the field of institutional communications and consultancy. We aim to provide the blockchain community with state-of-the-art tools in order to share knowledge and expertise, assisting the European Commission in meeting its ambitious objectives in this field.” 

Mr. Alphonse Kaio, CEO of Mwalimu National, commented: “The focus to increase efficiency is top on the list for most SACCOs today. Given the changing member expectations, high cyber risks that have bedeviled the sector and the digitization era that is driving demand for fast responses and turnaround times for customer response, the need for business continuity cannot be understated. The demand and need for SACCOs to adopt customer centric, smart and secure technology applications is now a priority more than ever before. MWALIMU NATIONAL SACCO is therefore delighted to partner with Netcompany-Intrasoft to offer robust, secure and affordable solutions to the SACCO sector on a shared platform to be hosted in the state-of-the-art Data Center at Mwalimu Towers in Upperhill, Nairobi”.
