In the world of emerging technology, Blockchain seems to be the one getting more attention. Undoubtedly, it holds the potential to revolutionise several sectors of the economy, starting with the banking and insurance sectors.

Still relatively unfamiliar to the general public, the Blockchain technology introduces a new powerful pattern which has not been fully exploited yet. At present, there are obvious applications like transfer of digital cash with bitcoin, but it’s just a beginning. Many Blockchain experts believe that many use cases will emerge with time.

Despite the fluctuations in the blockchain industry, several startups are implementing the technology, which is changing at a rapid pace. Especially, the European market is taking some serious steps to implement blockchain tech.

With the help of Dealroom, we’ve rounded up 8 interesting examples of France-based companies using blockchain technologies.
