We’ve had an unbelievable year here at Hive Project HQ, making not only December a month to remember, but also 2017 a year to remember too! When we started our crowd-sale, even our wildest dreams were blown away when we released our DEMO version a mere 6 months later — with a strong business lined up and ready to be plugged in too! And when reading through our Telegram channel and social media, it becomes increasingly clear how much strong progress we have made in becoming a real fintech giant to be reckoned with!

Ending 2017 in Style: A DEMO Revealed — Backed up with First Business Deals!

It has been an epic journey. Since our award-winning ICO, Hive Project has progressed from promise and potential to becoming a recognized and trusted fintech brand with a DEMO version of the platform to show, but there is still no end in sight to our progress. My team and I are still working all-nighters to deliver the first ever blockchain based platform to give SMEs worldwide fast and low-cost liquidity. And on time too, just as we promised. We just keep on delivering: our Proof of Concept (PoC) in Las Vegas and the DEMO version a week ago being two examples!

The fact that we have been focusing solely on the product and ensuring its long-term future by backing it up with business deals is, in my opinion, the best investment in Hive Project’s bright future! There is no time for bulls**it here. We are here to deliver and create long-term value for our contributors! And that is why it gives me such great pleasure to get so much feedback, emails and phone calls of support and praise from SMEs (debtors) and investors (factors) from all over the world! This confirms that we are on the right path to achieving success, and we will continue to work just as hard in the future.

For those asking about how you can test out our DEMO, you can play around with it HERE! As my co-founder and CTO, Dejan Jovanovic, explained, the Hive Project DEMO is a fully clickable demonstration of the Hive Project Platform’s capabilities, and interacts with a private instance of the Ethereum blockchain. With added functionalities, drastically improved performance and an intuitive user experience, I believe we have made a crucial first step towards ensuring the Hive Project Platform’s long-term viability.

And when adding our first ERP deal (!) and the FUNDS (!) committed in our “Jump-Start Liquidity Pool” to the equation, it is now becoming crystal clear that 2018 will be HUGE for Hive Project and our amazing community of contributors!

2018: SCALING UP TO A €2.5 TRILLION MARKET!

With our development team working wonders on a daily basis, we have been keeping pace with the business side too. We made our TELEGRAM ONLY ANNOUNCEMENT on our ERP deal just last week — going public with Hive Project’s integration into a leading regional ERP provider for SMEs. We are delighted that Adacta (https://www.adacta.si/) has seen what Hive Project Platform can bring to the table for their customers, and that they will fully integrate us into their systems. With this agreement now signed, sealed and delivered, we are already working on other ERP providers to follow. For now, however, we will be making Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Germany, the Czech Republic, the UK and Russia (!) our first go-to markets when delivering our platform during the period Q2 to Q3 of 2018 — and there will be more countries to come!

Tomaz Volk, Founder and Managing Partner of Adacta Holding: “Hive Project’s blockchain-based liquidity-providing platform is a unique solution for SMEs around the world. It is a truly revolutionary product and we are looking forward to implementing it into our systems and making it available to our clients.” For more information about Adacta, please check here: https://www.adacta.si/

With a powerful business backing up our development, we are surer than ever that we will deliver exactly what we promised — and create long-term value for our contributors in the process! The numbers are there for everyone to see. And we believe that that the targets set in the Business Roadmap Summary are eminently realistic and achievable.

Let there be no doubt about it. Our first go-to markets have incredible potential, including powerhouses of the European economy, and we will do our best to continue delivering as we have done so often until now!

With 5.67 million small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Russia (!) and an annual turnover of USD 2.5 trillion for the companies in our first go-to markets alone (!!), we have laid strong foundations for our success and scaling up in 2018!

Although we made some strong steps toward success in 2017, I am certain that we will make giant leaps forward in 2018, and make Hive Project a fintech unicorn in the process! Our team is extremely dedicated and highly motivated, and our amazing community continues to back us up. So, here’s to making 2018 a year of success for Hive Project!

And as always: keep in touch and join our active, thriving and ever-growing TELEGRAM community HERE!
