Projects and Collaborations

The RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub connects industry with expert researchers to evaluate and workshop innovative tailor made blockchain solutions. Due to the unique multidisciplinary nature of the Blockchain Innovation Hub, industry partnerships and projects cover a range of sectors including:

mEET OUR PARTNERS AND COLLABORATORS

Infosys

The Project: Working with Infosys and some of their key clients (Nestle, Kraft, Mondolez etc) - perform critical exploration of supply chain vulnerabilities during unforeseen externalities (e.g. pandemics) and provide guidelines for a resilient supply chain network of the future.

Identify causes of information asymmetry in the supply chains

Evaluate potential solutions to ensure supply chain resilience

Provide guidelines/ recommendations for national policy creation on agro supply chain (food assurance)

Indigenous Food Project

About: Local Indigenous botanicals, often called bushfoods, are a growing trend in the Australian and international market. They are increasingly seen in food and beauty products on supermarket shelves, and in Australia’s top restaurants. While many of these products include Aboriginal inspired branding, very few are Indigenous owned (between 2 – 5%). Through the use of blockchain technology, we can create all Indigenous supply chains, each with unique and engaging stories for customers.

Objective: Develop a simple blockchain application Qeeap Chain that demonstrates provenance of an indigenous food product.

AEM focusses on financial process innovation and provides first fully automated accounting system for alternative currencies. Seamless conversion of transactions to equivalent monetary value means that data can be easily extracted into any accounting software package or custom edited by the user. In this way financial reporting becomes streamlined and effortless.

The Project: Journaler is a web-based application used for reconciliation of cryptocurrency transactions to capture their monetary value at the time of the transfer in line with accounting standards. The first version of the system has been integrated with NEM blockchain. Subsequent iterations will incorporate more blockchains and cryptocurrencies.
