Day 1. The Tech Giant That Took Blockchain Seriously Early
When people hear blockchain, they usually think about crypto.
But one of the earliest companies building real blockchain solutions was IBM.
Instead of focusing on tokens, IBM focused on real business problems.
They built the IBM Blockchain Platform, powered by Hyperledger Fabric, an enterprise blockchain framework supported by the Linux Foundation.
One of the most interesting use cases came from Walmart.
Food supply chains are complex. When contamination happens, tracing the source can take days.
With IBM’s blockchain system, Walmart can trace the origin of food products in seconds.
Every step in the supply chain is recorded on blockchain, making the system more transparent and trustworthy.
This shows something important.
Blockchain is not just about crypto trading. It is about building systems where trust is built into technology.
Tomorrow we will look at how Microsoft helped companies build blockchain solutions using cloud infrastructure.

As a panelist at our IWD: Break the Pattern event, Kidist Amdu came to inspire women by sharing her journey in tech. In collaboration with Women Techmakers Ethiopia, the conversation created a space for women to connect, learn and uplift one another.
But by the end, she left inspired too. Hearing the stories and ambitions of the women in the room was a reminder that inspiration goes both ways.
Kidist, a Software Engineer at ETM Software Development PLC, encouraged more women to step confidently into tech. ✨
