NN Group Joins National Blockchain Coalition as a Founding Partner

NN Group announced yesterday that it will join the National Blockchain Coalition (Nationale Blockchain Coalitie) in the Netherlands as a founding partner. The coalition brings together over twenty companies and organisations  from the financial, logistics and energy sectors, government, and knowledge institutions. The aim of the coalition is for the Netherlands to become an international frontrunner in the application of blockchain technology.

NN Group is one of the founding partners of the National Blockchain Coalition. Its action programme was officially launched today by Henk Kamp, the Dutch minister for Economic Affairs. ‘The blockchain coalition is an exciting new initiative that fits well into NN Group’s strategy of fostering innovation and agility in the digital era’, says Mariken Tannemaat, Chief Innovation Officer of NN Group.

The blockchain coalition is the latest example of partnerships between NN Group and third parties in the field of fintech. In July 2016, NN Group announced a three year sponsorship StartupBootcamp, an ‘accelerator’ that supports startups.
