Dutch government to open blockchain development campus

The Dutch government announced it will open a new campus for the development of blockchain to attract banks and financial institutions.

Fintech Ambassador Willem Vermeend announced the news at a conference organized by Holland Fintech and De Nederlandsche Bank. The campus will open in early September. However, its location has not been revealed yet.

The Dutch Ministry of Finance expects blockchain to become a vital part of the financial sector, and the new campus should help companies and individuals work together.

Vermeend strongly feels it is unlikely all of the blockchain campus participants will use the same technology in the end.
