A lot of shipping/supply chain processes are paper-based – slow and cumbersome and haven’t changed in literally hundreds of years. Startup Millicent Labs wants to use #blockchain / #NFTs to change that and open up bottlenecks.

The company was among about a dozen #startups ,…

Plans recently announced to launch a Private Sector Humanitarian Alliance to work with the United Nations. This is the right step to coordinate aid and more directly engage the private sector – something Mastercard has strongly encouraged. You have a willing partner.
