Blockchain for Infrastructure Agnostic Supply Chain and Tokenisation for Responsive Supply Chain
Blockchain technology can serve to tie together broad diverse supply chains across organization regardless of database architecture yet with the commonality of security authorization and document authentication. In this way it will streamline the procurement and lifecycle tracking efficiency of tier 1, 2, 3 supply chains for organizations large and small.

Kai Peeters is experienced CEO and entrepreneur, with a passion for finding new and innovative ways to challenge the status quo and enhance our daily lives.
My latest venture is HiP, a world first which changes the way we’ll think and feel about our property wealth forever.
HiP is a new kind of bank account, FCA regulated, where money locked in property can be accessed, controlled and shared for the first time, in real time. Homeowners, developers, asset managers and investors can all buy and sell debt or equity stakes.
It opens up a world of opportunities. Imagine you could sell some equity to release cash for a home improvement; imagine you could sell equity to buy a better house; imagine you could sell equity to pay off your loan; imagine you could then buy the equity back when you’re ready; imagine you want to sell equity stakes to raise debt for new development opportunities; imagine you want to sell equity holdings across entire portfolios. With HiP, you can.
Prior to HiP, I led successful start-ups and established companies across Internet, mobile, banking and IT. They included an IT consultancy trading within top-tier investment banks, a social/retail marketing platform, luxury watch brand, luxury car club and a number of innovative betting companies through social, affiliate, sports and bitcoin betting concepts, including a bitcoin casino. They have all given me extensive and varied knowledge and experience which I apply to drive success.
