Episode 7 - Blockchain for Supply Chain

Blockchain is an emergent technology primed to create more transparent, sustainable, and cost-efficient business processes. This month, Penn State Supply Chain Podcast hosts welcome Henry Ines, CEO and co-founder of Chainparency, to discuss the trending topic of blockchains. Henry provides keen insights about the tenets and uses of blockchain, sharing, “With any blockchain, you’re really talking about security, the level of scalability, and the level of decentralization – these are three critical aspects of a blockchain technology.” Henry and our hosts discuss why blockchain is such an important emerging technology for supply chain, the decision points to consider when organizations are thinking about implementing blockchain services as a business solution, and the future of this novel technology.

Henry Ines has over 20 years of professional experiences as a global executive, former VC, advisor, and tech entrepreneur. He is the CEO and co-founder of Chainparency, a technology startup and developer of GoTrace: the first true, turnkey SaaS blockchain traceability solution for any organization regardless of size or budget. Ines also continues to serve on the Steering Committee of the GoChain Foundation, the developer of the GoChain blockchain: a highly scalable, enterprise-grade, 100% Ethereum-compatible, and "green" blockchain protocol based on GoChain's novel "Proof of Reputation" consensus mechanism; and to advance various GoChain blockchain-based initiatives to include the recently established Zeromint NFT Marketplace.
