Energo Labs’ COO Speaks at Digital Asset Investment Forum (DAIF)

Energo Labs’ COO Kaikai Yang was invited to discuss development and investment in green assets at the Global Digital Asset Investment Forum (DAIF), hosted by FinTech4Good on February 20th, 2018 in Washington DC. FinTech4Good is the world’s leading blockchain and financial technology platform agency, uncovering the most promising technologies and bringing them to the forefront.

Yang, a panelist in the Blockchain-Based Digital Asset Solutions session, spoke about disrupting the energy sector. She focused on how blockchain is disrupting the energy industry, and Energo Labs’ solution to establish Decentralized Autonomous Energy (DAE) communities. In DAE communities, energy is traded as a digital asset in peer-to-peer (P2P), machine-to-machine (M2M), and/or vehicle-to-grid/microgrid (V2G/MG) transactions. Currently, Energo Labs is developing their proof-of-concept project in a campus microgrid in Manila, and has additional projects in India, Singapore, and Thailand scheduled for launch this year.

Yang will also serve as the first co-chair of the newly formed Energy Blockchain Leadership Council, established by FinTech4Good, which will support sustainable development using emerging technologies.

Other subjects covered during the forum ranged from optimal models for blockchain startups to strategies for building robust ecosystems that support digital asset investment. The conference also invited several influential invitees including representatives from Johns Hopkins University, George Washington University, Blockchain Commission, and the World Bank.

Attendees of the prestigious conference were confident about the transformative future of blockchain technology. CEO of Veritaseum Reggie Middleton likened the disruptive potential of blockchain to that of the Internet. Tong Gao, founder of cryptocurrency investment community Token Club, mirrored Middleton’s optimism in her advice regarding blockchain industry investment — “you need to be brave and take the first step”.
