About this course:
The pressure created by the coronavirus on global supply chain systems highlights an urgent need for rapid global cooperation to maintain and strengthen the resilience and transparency of highly-complex international supply chains. The relevance and impact of distributed ledger technology to provide solutions to such issues will become more relevant and evident.
