To learn more about Blockchain technology, the technology behind the Walmart/IBM/Tsinghua/Chinese food safety project, FE spoke one-on-one with Bridget van Kralingen, senior vice president, IBM Industry Platforms. She has been instrumental in IBM’s Blockchain efforts, working with The Linux Foundation to make Blockchain technology enterprise ready.
Bridget van Kralingen: Blockchain is a technology category, and so within Blockchain, there are a number of open source options. There are also some non-open source options. One of the things that IBM is a strong supporter of is the Linux Foundation type of ledger, which is both open source and open governance.
