The distributed ledger technology (DLT) is increasingly becoming popular in all corners of the world. Now, in Italy, the technology is being used in major sectors such as agriculture, finance, insurance, transport and logistic and many others. 

There are a series of firms which have adopted or tried it for their development and businesses. Nevertheless, the large-scale practicality of this innovative technology is still less known, therefore, training on the subject is valuable.  

At any rate, the strategy planned by the Italian government that with DL Simplification, it will facilitate the effective application of DLT for Made in Italy project – will be worthwhile.
