As a young company, FinPlanet has already built an impressive track record on the design and implementation of DLT-based business models. Their expertise ranges from formulating business models using DLT-based processes and supporting regulatory approval processes to technical and procedural implementation. FinPlanet's founders and managing directors are characterized by their extensive expertise and entrepreneurial spirit, and I am pleased to support them on their successful path as an advisor.
