Pioneering Blockchain Innovation: GBBC Returns to Davos for 8th Annual Blockchain Central

Pioneering Blockchain Innovation

The Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), the world’s largest blockchain and digital assets industry association, is gathering top innovators and decision-makers at Blockchain Central Davos 2025, taking place from January 20-23, 2025, in Davos, Switzerland. This flagship event will bring together key stakeholders across blockchain, digital assets, technology, and government to address pressing global challenges through the lens of digital trust.

What is Davos?

Davos, a picturesque town nestled in the Swiss Alps, has long been a symbol of global collaboration. It is famously home to the World Economic Forum (WEF), where thought leaders, policymakers, and industry pioneers convene annually to tackle critical issues facing the world. Against this backdrop, GBBC’s Blockchain Central Davos serves as a hub for exploring blockchain’s transformative potential across diverse industries.

Highlighting Industry Leaders

This year’s event features a powerful lineup of industry giants and thought leaders, including representatives from Ripple, Hedera, Coinbase, and Avalanche (Ava Labs), alongside other prominent players such as Chainalysis, Filecoin Foundation, and the UN World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator. Discussions will delve into topics like market investment, climate finance, global regulation, education, and the future of blockchain-driven solutions.

Notable regulators and policymakers—such as the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Government of Liechtenstein, and the Government of Telangana, India—will also share their insights, underscoring the intersection of innovation and governance.

Driving Blockchain Innovation Since 2017

Launched in Davos in 2017, GBBC is a Swiss-based non-profit with over 500 institutional members and 301 global ambassadors spanning 117 countries. The organization has been a pioneering force in advancing blockchain adoption and collaboration across sectors. Reflecting on GBBC’s journey, CEO Sandra Ro remarked:

“Davos serves as a catalyst for transforming ideas into action through public-private collaboration. From our beginnings as ‘outsiders,’ to taking center stage, Blockchain Central Davos is at the forefront of blockchain innovation worldwide.”

As the world continues to navigate challenges like climate change, financial inclusion, and digital transformation, Ripple, Hedera, Coinbase, and Avalanche stand out as trailblazers driving meaningful progress through blockchain technology. Their contributions, alongside GBBC’s unwavering commitment to fostering collaboration, position Blockchain Central Davos as an unmissable event for shaping the future of the digital economy.
