Former IBM President Joins I/O Digital, a Non-Profit Blockchain Organization, to Promote Open Source Blockchain Development and Deployment

Nadal Antonioni, former president of IBM Mexico, has recently joined the advisory foundation of I/O Digital, a non-profit blockchain organization dedicated to promoting the development and implementation of enterprise-grade blockchain.

I/O Digital has been promoting the development of the blockchain industry over the past two years, creating various blockchain-based systems for enterprises. All operations of the organization are privately funded by its members.

KPMG, one of the Big Four auditing firms, recently released a list of the top 100 financial technology companies, and I/O digital was included in the list, a recognition of the company’s efforts to promote the commercialization of blockchain technology.

Nadal Antonioni's important linking role

As Deloitte said earlier this week, startups, organizations and financial institutions must join blockchain consortiums or work together to effectively test blockchain and blockchain-based systems.

The blockchain alliance helps build connections between non-profits like I/O Digital and large financial service providers, which is critical to the development of blockchain in the implementation and testing stages.

Antonioni joins the I/O Digita Advisory Board and will focus on helping I/O Digita develop strategic partnerships and global expansion. By establishing strategic partnerships with international businesses, the company will be able to build an international presence while ensuring there is a platform to test their technology.

I/O Digital is a strong supporter of open source software development

R3CEV and many other consortiums or blockchain companies have been heavily criticized by many Bitcoin developers and crypto experts for being closed-source.

Without the contributions of developers and communities around the world, it would be nearly impossible to build an innovative and powerful cryptographic technology like Bitcoin.

Therefore, since 2014, I/O Digital has been driving the development and deployment of open source blockchain for enterprises, realizing that only through open source software can enterprise companies freely implement and commercialize blockchain technology.
