 future is looking particularly bright for any company who can pitch the idea of blockchain supply-chain management into the UK’s vast array of financial, logistical and commercial services.
The LINFINITY Forum showed that there is great scope for the development of blockchain products in the UK. With the aim of enhancing the efficiency, speed and transparency of Bank Payment Obligations, online purchases, compensation, and other digital trade settlements, blockchain and LINFINITY play a pivotal role in improving the management, protection and scalability of an aggregated supply-chain financial network.
The successful acquisition of cooperative intentions with several UK companies, with the view to establishing long-term working partnerships, suggests that LINFINITY made a great move in choosing the UK as their next base of operations.
The best part? Both LINFINITY and the UK thrive from it – the former as an emerging powerhouse in supply-chain optimisation, and latter as adding the driving of the fourth technological evolution to its already impressive trendsetting history – first as steam pioneers, then as early-adopters of electricity, thirdly (thanks to a certain Sir Tim Berners-Lee) as creators and stewards of the Internet Age, and today as the first blockchain-based global economic powerhouse.

More than a year and a half into the coronavirus pandemic, the world's rich nations are beginning to accept that Covid-19 is not going away -- despite high vaccination rates drastically cutting the number of hospitalizations and deaths.
But while they may agree that the virus is here to stay, in some form, for the foreseeable future, these countries have radically different approaches to dealing with it.
Singapore, an island state of 5.69 million, and the UK, home to an estimated 66 million people, have had very different pandemic experiences -- and outcomes -- so far.
While the UK has one of the highest numbers of Covid-19 related deaths in the world -- nearly 129,000 since the pandemic started -- only 36 people have died of Covid-19 in Singapore. For every 100,000 of the population in the UK, there have been 192.64 Covid-19 deaths in the UK. This goes down to 0.63 in Singapore, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
The UK government was widely condemned for being slow to implement pandemic control measures, such as mask mandates and lockdowns, as the virus began to spread in spring 2020.
By contrast, Singapore was quick to shut its borders, implemented a comprehensive contact tracing and testing program, and imposed quarantine requirements early on.
Now the two countries are charting different paths out of the pandemic; their plans are likely to be seen as test cases for other nations as they ramp up their vaccination programs.
In June, Singaporean lawmakers unveiled the country's roadmap to a "new normal" in a letter published in the Straits Times, outlining a radical departure from Singapore's previous "zero transmission" model.
So-called "zero-Covid" approaches have been adopted by several countries and territories across the Asia-Pacific region.
But the letter revealed that Singapore's authorities were looking to change tack, moving away from daily monitoring of cases to a focus on medical outcomes such as "how many fall very sick, how many in the intensive care unit, how many need to be intubated for oxygen, and so on," they wrote.
Eventually, they hope, Covid-19 will be treated as a less severe disease, like influenza or chicken pox.
Weeks later, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson struck a similar note, predicting that Covid-19 would "become a virus that we learn to live with as we already do with flu." Johnson announced plans to lift almost all coronavirus restrictions, including the mask mandate and social distancing rules, in England on July 19.
He said the country's successful vaccine rollout -- under which 66% of the adult population has now received two doses of the jab -- has broken the link between infections and severe illness.
But Covid-19 case numbers have surpassed 50,000 a day in the UK at the same time that "normal life" resumes -- nearly 52,000 new cases, and 49 deaths, were recorded on Friday.
England's reopening is the latest pandemic measure to divide opinion in the country. While many in Johnson's ruling Conservative Party support his approach, scientists have issued dire warnings that the health of millions of people is at stake, since herd immunity has not been reached and around 17 million people -- some classed as extremely vulnerable to Covid-19 -- remain unvaccinated.
After modelling suggested that thousands of people may die if the UK reopened in June, Johnson kicked back the UK's "Freedom Day."
Dr. Oliver Watson, a researcher modelling Covid-19 transmission at Imperial College London, told CNN there appeared to be little political will to delay the reopening further, despite the numbers, and the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant, which is now the dominant strain of Covid-19 in the UK.
Watson contrasted the UK's loosening of restrictions in the face of all the data, with the situation in Singapore, where -- despite a determination to return to normal life -- the authorities still appear keen to clamp down on cases of the virus.
"The ease with which Singapore will tighten their restrictions in response to local outbreaks is just completely worlds apart to how they [the UK government] handles things," he said.
An "unethical experiment?"
Singapore is currently averaging 26 new Covid-19 cases a day; no firm date has yet been set for its reopening.
Singapore's Health Minister Ong Ye Kung told Bloomberg on July 9 that Singapore's roadmap diverged considerably from the UK's "big bang approach" to reopening. "I think what we want is to take a more middle path," he said, explaining that it was critical to achieve high vaccination rates and "maintain both containment and mitigation measures."
Around 40% of the Singaporean population have received their second dose of the vaccine, and the government says the country is on track to vaccinate three quarters of its entire population by August 9. Unlike the UK, adolescents over the age of 12 are included in the vaccination figures. The UK has yet to approve giving the jab to that age group.
Ong told Bloomberg that "the balance will shift," but mitigation and containment measures would not be abandoned. Instead, he said, Singapore's reopening would be gradual, "package by package -- nothing 'big bang' -- and each step of the way, make sure we keep populations safe."
Back in England many are watching Boris Johnson's reopening gamble with alarm.
More than 100 doctors and scientists last week warned that not only was the move premature, but that "unmitigated transmission will disproportionately affect unvaccinated children and young people who have already suffered greatly."
The strategy will create "fertile ground for the
