SMEs are the backbone of every economy. In the Asia-Pacific, they make up 99% of businesses and employ 87% of all workers in the region. Our friends at Mastercard, always at the front edge of digital innovation, asked us to talk to their SME partners and clients about how our blockchain products can support improved competitiveness, efficiency, and market access.

Adoption is always the first priority of our team, so we helped educate the Mastercard audience on how our enterprise solutions can help them not just survive, but also thrive by embracing digital transformation. Blockchain isn’t just for the big industry players who can afford incredibly expensive solutions from the IBM’s of the world — Perlin makes these tools available to businesses of every size.

For example, in Brazil SMEs make up 99% of the economy, but only account for 1% of export trade due to the high costs and complexities. Our solutions are specifically designed to reduce these barriers to trade for SMEs around the world — allowing them to access markets previously out of reach.

Working with established and trusted financial and payments services companies like Mastercard will be key to adoption in trade and finance.

Our vision at Perlin is always to empower businesses and communities by creating more inclusive industries and economies. So it was a pleasure to help Mastercard’s Asia-Pacific based SME ecosystem to see the real-world application of blockchain that they can leverage NOW.

More coming soon!
