DLT Austria

Austrian association for the sustainable promotion of distributed ledger technologies

Four pillars

How we work

Everything DLT Austria does rests on four pillars — from foundational education to hands-on pilot support.

Information, awareness & education

We build up basic knowledge for everyone interested in distributed ledger technologies — with a focus on blockchain and its use cases in automotive, finance, insurance, public administration, real estate, transport, ICT, energy and more.

Community building & networking

We set up, organise and maintain the relations that strengthen the network. Our initial focus is Austria, with strong connections into Germany and Switzerland.

Use case & design thinking

Many decision makers face the difficult task of identifying a proper use case. We help develop ideas free of limitations and offer innovation workshops, design thinking sessions and hackathons.

Pilot project assistance

A pilot project should analyse and question startups or enterprises in their own and related industries. We connect, cooperate and work together on innovative solutions.

The challenge

New technologies imply big challenges and create a lot of uncertainty

To ask the proper questions and reach your goals, you need to understand the fundamental technology, its functionality and its use cases.

DLT Austria bridges this gap and serves as a think tank and platform for the exchange on all topics regarding distributed ledger technologies.

A well-directed network and the coordination of science, economy, education and community stakeholders enables a sustainable use of blockchain technology in Austria.
