One of the most beneficial applications of blockchain<\/a> is for SMEs, the small and medium-sized enterprises.
\nThe Italian economy, due to its extremely diversified and export-oriented structure, may represent a fertile ground for the development of solutions related to distributed ledgers.
\nIn particular, exchanges at international level could be a fruitful testing space for the development of solutions based on distributed ledgers (Distributed Ledger Technology<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"codeBlockchain for SMEs: transparency, security and traceability<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

The possibility of recording the path taken, for example, by products in the food sector is a device that can ensure the protection of Made in Italy.
\nNot only the food sector<\/strong>, but also the manufacturing<\/strong>, banking<\/strong> and sports<\/strong> sectors<\/strong>, just to name a few, can take advantage of the features of blockchain, ensuring transparency during the production phases<\/strong>, the safety of compliance with regulations and the traceability of the life cycle of the products<\/strong> processed and marketed.<\/p>\n

Italy is a world-leading country in the fashion industry<\/strong>. Made in Italy garments have an added value linked to the high quality of Italian tailoring. Guaranteeing, through the blockchain, that the various phases of the realization of the garments have taken place in compliance with the regulations and on Italian territory, without delocalization of production, is certainly for consumers an extra sign of transparency.
\nThe production and distribution chain can exploit blockchain technology to highlight and defend the best quality of products.<\/p>\n

Innovative Italian SMEs are focusing on testing DLT solutions to be made available to different sectors for commercial purposes. As technologies develop, the fields of application in different branches of industry are also multiplying.
\nEven in the financial, insurance and utilities sectors<\/strong>, a decision by governments to invest in new technologies is beginning to be seen.<\/p>\n

The OSCE research study<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

Italy was the first European country to fund a research study conducted by the OSCE<\/strong><\/a> (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) that had the task of investigating the implications that blockchain would have on the ecosystem of SMEs and startups.<\/p>\n

The main difficulties encountered by the companies, which participated in the study, were related to the complexity, indecipherability and vagueness of the relevant regulations:<\/p>\n
