IBM Blockchain

Blockchain is a new technology that allows businesses to work together with a lot more trust. It is a revolutionary way to do business – and IBM is in the forefront of it. Blockchain has the ability to change the world in the same way that the Internet did and redefine how business happens. We are in the early days of this technology but IBM saw the potential and got in early to help develop blockchain and build solutions to solve real business problems. IBM has the most comprehensive offering in blockchain and we are working with clients and developers across multiple industries to explore how blockchain can transform how business is done in areas as diverse as banking and financial services, supply chain, healthcare, travel and transportation, media and entertainment and energy and utilities.

A group of the world's leading retailers and food companies are working with IBM to explore how blockchain technology can be used to make the food supply chain safer. Blockchain technology can be used to improve food traceability by providing trusted information on the origin and state of food. Pictured is a crate of oranges being scanned as part of a food safety blockchain. (Connie Zhou for IBM)
